Honestly, I got nothing. In German, we would say Besteck or Tafelsliber.
Silverware (Tafelsilber : banquet/table silver) exists.
Besteck used to mean sheath, bestecken could be translated as to decorate with, stecken is to put into.

It's not that food weapon is close to the German word but it's the description this German guy came up with.
I could see the Swedish being translated as stabbers
skriva: to write
beskriva: to describe
sticka: to stab
bestick: stab-related noun?
Tafelsilber is silber tho.
Fork him.

In America ... they would have handed him a Samurai mall sword and a shotgun
German guy looks around at everyone eating their food with swords and shotguns
Samurai mall sword

Made from high grade aluminum. Says made in China in it so you know it's genuine.
my Dad liked to refer to it as fightin' gear...
I'm stealing that
