New handle. Simple job.
My fork is a bit like Trigger's broom.

Good luck finding a shop with fork handles!
But if you try, can I come and stand behind you in the queue when you ask?
According to my properly brung up teenage kids, none of their peers know this classic sketch or get the quotes that ensue....

Buy a fork with a steel handle, the type you have will always be vulnerable as where the wooden shaft enters the steel head is a weak pivot point.
Alternatively fix it and buy a digging fork as well. My guess is you were digging with this fork?

Yes, I was digging up a hydrangea bush. It was working loose and I put all my weight on it and it gave way.

Took this photo in the hold of the Cutty Sark a few years ago, I often wonder if it was an intended or accidental visual joke:

Four candles and fork handles. I would say it is purely coincidental......

If you have a farm supply shop nearby, they'll have fork handles in. I'd refit a handle rather than buy another fork.

I find it hard to believe that it was first shown in 1976. That's 45 years ago. Still vivid in my mind, but understandable why your teens didn't know about it. Probably 30 years before they were born!

There's a pub in that there Oxford called the Four Candles, have frequented many a time, and I always think of this sketch when visiting.
