I imagine most people here know that table forks weren't used (in France
at least) until well after the medieval period; some may have been used in
kitchens.
This document (from persee.fr) on domestic objects and arms from Normandy
made of iron is interesting overall; among other things it includes an
image of a fourteenth century fork (on page 214):
