No, "gaffel" can only be masculine.
While all feminine nouns have a masculine option, all masculine nouns do not have a feminine counterpart. You can use this dictionary to check the genders whenever you're in doubt. :)
You may say "Kan jeg få kniv og gaffel?" but the more polite version is "Kan du gi meg kniv og gaffel?" (Can you give me a knife and fork?) or the same with "en kniv og en gaffel". If you want to be really polite you can say: "Kan du være så snill og gi meg kniv og gaffel? " (Can you give me a knife and fork, please.)
