Since William McArthur invented the original Splayd in Australia in 1943, the product found its way into residences and restaurants in the country and around the world. Design Features Splayd utensils have flattened sides that act like knives so that they can cut through soft and semi-hard foods. The cutlery also features four small tines that resemble those on a fork, and the product's scooped ball makes it easy to eat soup with them. There are no sharp edges on a Splayd that can seriously injure a person, which makes it an ideal eating utensil for young children who may be in the habit of playing with their cutlery.

VINERS (1901-2014):
Viners International was started around 1901 by Adolphe Viener (also spelled Adolph Weiner when he was knighted by the Crown) and his sons in Sheffield, England. They were silversmiths who initially worked in traditional small workshops. The hallmark for Viners Ltd. silver was registered to son Edward Viner  in 1932. The company, which as Viners Ltd., grew to be the biggest cutlery manufacturer in England.
By the 1960s, it had expanded to subsidiaries in Ireland, Australia and France. In mid-2000, Oneida of the United States, paid $25 million in cash for Viners which was put into administration on 30 October 2014 Rayware, a privately owned housewares group, bought Viners out of administration for £1.6 million in November 2014 and in 2015 set about "reinvigorating the brand".
