In English we have specific words for the main eating utensils:

* Fork
* Knife
* Spoon

These are specifically what we place into our *hands* for eating. 
I am not too aware of what it is like currently in other cultures. The only other one I am aware of is:

* Chopsticks

Then we have the surrounding eating utensils (Dishes like Cup, Plate, and Bowl). We also have *cooking utensils*, of which there are a lot (Prongs, Grader, Pots, Pans, Stove, Spatula, etc.). But those aren't necessarily used for *eating* itself. There are also many variations on these basic structures (like the Butter Knife, or the Soup Spoon), but here I would just like to focus on the basics. Finally, there are tools used to *clean up the mess*, like the Napkin or Toothpick, but not too focused on that here either.

For part of the question I would like to know what are all the various main types of eating utensils for the hands, across cultures, of which I can only think of these:

* Fork
* Knife
* Spoon
* Chopsticks

Then as part of the history, it would be interesting to know roughly when these were developed if it's not too complicated.
