    Here is the tutorial.

    1. Step 1

      Front plane >> Sketch.

      Medium

    2. Step 2

      Draw line and spline like this. The spline is tangent to both of lines.

      Medium

    3. Step 3

      Under sketch tab click Fit spline under spline.

      Medium

    4. Step 4

      Select all entites in order and then check delete geometry and uncheck closed geometry. Input tolerance = 5mm. Click OK.

      Medium

    5. Step 5

      Extrude the surface by mid plane.

      Medium

    6. Step 6

      Top plane >> Sketch.

      Medium

    7. Step 7

      Draw this profile using line and spline. The spline is again tangent to the lines. Draw a center line about the mid-point of the surface.

      Medium

    8. Step 8

      Select Fit spline tool under spline.

      Medium

    9. Step 9

      Same option for the fit spline. Check delete geometry and uncheck closed spline and tolerance = 5mm.

      Medium

    10. Step 10

      Mirror the spline about the center line.

      Medium

    11. Step 11

      Now draw lines like this. These line are equal to each other and parrallel to the corresponding lines too.

      Medium

    12. Step 12

      Mirror these lines. These will work fine for the fork for now.

      Medium

    13. Step 13

      Again Fit spline tool and select all entites with Delete geometry checked and closed spline unchecked with tolerance of 5~10mm.

      Medium

    14. Step 14

      We have a basic shape of fork.

      Medium

    15. Step 15

      Click Trim surface tool under surfaces tab.

      Medium

    16. Step 16

      Use the sketch as the timming tool and remove the outer surface.

      Medium

    17. Step 17

      Thicken the surface now.

      Medium

    18. Step 18

      Fillet the holding side.

      Medium

    19. Step 19

      Now we have the basic model of a fork.
