That's pretty neat, but I thought the fork was invented by Renaissance Italians.
Forks have been around for ages they just weren't that popular in Europe for a long time.
Here's a link to the item page from the website of the museum that displays it
Wow! What a discovery, where was it found?

@cutewolf: this implement set is actually feasable with 200 AD tech. but springs were not used; jusging from the picture, I'd say they used some sort of knob prtruding from the side of a sub-implement, as is clearly shownby that toothpick thingy.
but yes, this would have been a priceless item to own back in the day.

So, no spring safety-pin then?
Maybe (judging from the holes present in handle), they use balisong-type opening mechanism, with simple knobs as safety measure....

Well obviously the knife was given to them by space aliens, since we all know that people in the ancient world couldn't make amazing things without intergalactic help.![]()

The ankh like design pf the handle too points to that of the ancient Egyptians who were undoubtedly having ties with aliens.
