My 15 month old does not east with a spoon yet and done times won't eat finger foods.. What my step mom told me to do is give them a baby spoon or fork and go and eat your food and if they have not eaten very much before you get done to help them out.. What has worked for my little girl is saying you going to eat like mama and dada and she eats fine for the must part..

I think my kids were closer to 18mo. I let them play with utensils from 6 mo on. Maybe I just have slow learners lol

No, i don't think he's behind. Place utensils by his plate and encourage him to use them like you do, but let him explore with them. He'll eventually get the hang of it, and when he does you can focus on teaching him how to hold the spoon or fork.
