Maybe the fire striker is of relevance....the rest look...........not of the Roman era.

Firestriker shape is mediëval, fork was not used untill much later, but perhaps as a cooking utensil. Even then, it should be hotcut and the prongs bent out, it is clear this was not done here. The most simple spoon without the silly twists looks OK as a kitchen tool. The rest is very crude, given Roman standards of metalwork, and does not resemble anything Roman I have ever seen (which is a LOT).
Your post is in the research section, I would suggets you PLEASE get yourself some books and learn about this period, stop using the forum as a cheap reference guide for your fantasy products.

Look here for utensils. Use the search to find items of iron,brass,bronze etc...
As Robert said....don't make things up, no one will buy them.

Look often and well to get your gear correct.

How about a Manicure set....
Bone horn or wood combs
a Roman swiss army knife type camping tool....
folding knifes... theres even one with a gladiator handle
decent real replica tools that work for almost any kind of handwork, but ones that would be useful such as good shears in different sizes a common item and useful to many reinactors whats more the style stays much the same from Roman to Medieval ;-)
personally I wouldn't use metal utensils in cooking pots wood is a better option, the strike-a-light must actually work, if its made from ordinary steel it won't create a spark... I used old worn out hand files for this purpose...
Decide on what you'd like to do and research it, there may actually be a market for Roman portable kitchens but you need to do the research first....

In the proces of making that gladiator folding knife :-) ! I can assure you it requires detailed and delicate modelling in wax and good casting to get it anywhere close to the original. Having seen Sajid's work so far, this would seem a very grand step to take. Good ironwork is a challenge, bronze working a world of it's own.

And all of it takes practice and determination to succeed despite the odds, learn by your failure
carving wax is easy.... casting it takes some knowledge but not that much and most people could do it in their back yard with relatively simple equipment..... "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." Thomas A. Edison
