Knork founder Miller turns childhood idea into nationwide flatware
Miller, who grew up in Newton, created the Knork as a teen using Bondo, focusing on a rocking slice action and a finger platform. He pulled $10,000 from grandparents to skip college and launch at 21, later expanding to all 50 states with retailers like Target and Taco Tico. Lacy Simon drives marketing, and Knork products range from full sets to ambidextrous utensils. Simon notes the challenge of reinventing the fork, while Miller envisions Knork in Pizza Huts nationwide.
