plastic knives
Flimsy picnic cutlery
Plastic knives are disposable utensils made from lightweight plastic, typically included with takeout meals or at picnics and parties.
They're notoriously ineffective at cutting anything substantial: These plastic knives can barely get through a bread roll.
The phrase sometimes suggests inadequacy or flimsiness more broadly.
