    My son's two and a bit and he wants to use a knife already. He doesn't have the strength to cut through steak yet of course but we let him try anyway. There's no set age for 'when' kids should be able to do things. It comes with practise. I didn't know how to use a knife and fork til I was in high school because we never needed to. We hardly went out to eat and we always used chopsticks or spoons.

    I'm amazed that some kids here can use chopsticks so young! Do you mean proper chopsticks use or the 'crossed sticks' or 'poking' action? I've bought mine some training chopsticks for the time being. They work great and are much more pleasant to take out than the rubber band trick
