Gear 3 in 1 Ultralight Titanium Spork | Portable and Reusable Multi Tool for Backpacking and Camping | Feed Your Face, Leave No Trace

The media could not be loaded. As an outdoor enthusiast I certainly love spending time in the wild while also having a proper meal. Until now I tried all sorts of utensils from Victorinox Swiss Army sets to plastic flatware. The later I abandoned as they always seem to brake when you least expect it. Through all this searches though I had a problem in finding the right sort of fork-spoon combination.I did use for a while the Light My Fire Titanium Spork but it bent faster that you can say Jack Robinson so I sent it back to Amazon. And I thought that my dream of eating a decent meal while also enjoying a sunset was poised to fail. Enter OutSmart Titanium Spork.After the first encounter with this beautiful piece of metal I knew we were in for a long run. Even though it is not as firm as a steel fork it (titanium has a higher flexibility) - the guys at OutSmart did manage to do a terrific job in making a robust utensil (the added ridge on the edges does the trick). Also - unlike steel, this thing weighs only 0.8 ounces which you won't even feel in you backpack.The serrated edge is good enough when you don't have a knife at hand but I also pack my Gerber just in case.Another great improvement is the angular spoon that allows you to reach the corners of the food container and the matt surface which looks awesome and is easy to clean.I even take it with me at the office because I kind of hate the plastics which they offer at the cafeteria.For the money it is the best piece of equipment that I have bought recently.

I bought this after all 4 of the LMF camping utensils I bought broke in the same spot (neck between fork and spoon). As my name suggests, I did a lot of reading about it before purchasing it. Since purchasing, I have used it several times on picnics and when eating takeout (it makes me very happy to tell a restaurant to keep their plastic cutlery). It's sturdy, easy to wash, and very lightweight. But I was hesitant to purchase it based on some reviews, so I'd like to respond to a few of the issues others have raised:Matte finish: This isn't fancy silverware, and if I was camping, I'd probably be very happy not to have the sun reflecting from my eating utensil into the face. It does not feel weird when I eat, or feel unpleasant against my tongue or my teeth. It feels totally fine. It is not "rough cut", and I am pretty certain that it's not a bacteria magnet (I actually suspect that review was for some other brand of camping utensil).Spoon: It's a different shape than many spoons- wider and flatter. As a result, it holds probably about the same amount of liquid as a narrow, deep spoon. And the shape means it's flatter to pack, which is one of the awesome features. I even ate soup with this utensil as a test, and everything went just fine (it held liquid; it carried the liquid to my mouth; it released the liquid!!). I think the people who "can't imagine eating soup" with this utensil need to put it to the test before deciding the spoon is flawed.Knife edge: I haven't cut anything with it yet. Honestly, I don't take a lot of food camping that needs to be cut, and if I do need to cut something, the multi-tool is probably my go-to. That said, the design of this knife is far superior to the LMF model for eating with the fork, because the serration is only on the top side, so the side of the fork prong is relatively smooth. That makes it much more pleasant on my gums and tongue to eat with the fork. Maybe that makes it less effective as a knife than the LMF model, but if you don't have a pocket knife or multi-tool while camping, that's on you.I wish it was some exciting color. But I wish everything was some exciting color, and that certainly doesn't

Heartily recommend. Fork and spoon at a comfortable angle. Knife edge works well and seems engineered, not an after thought. Best part? No more broken sporks in the backcountry! Yay! I went through TWO of those other brand plastic sporks on the A.T. before I got smart, OutSmart. -- Heavy duty. Seems like you might be able to change a bicycle tire with two of these. *** UPDATE *** I have used these for several years now and still LOVE THEM. Awesome quality. All have held up very well, even with an automatic dishwasher instead of "hiker clean" (licked clean and wiped on shirt). Finished my A.T. thru-hike and now my wife and I pack them for lunch at work. One of my co-workers has made envious comments on how much she likes mine. After four years still pretty much looks as new. Now own several.

Like many of you, i found myself wanting and needing a lightweight war stick that would put fear in the hearts of all who gaze upon it while putting food in mah belly. I found everything i was looking for in life in this product. It’s so light, I sometimes forget it’s in my mouth after lunch and I return to the dreary cubicle trenches with my mouth adorned beautifully with this titanium delight (it also lacks the disgusting metal taste found in SOME spoons). I confidently stroll into the chow hall every day knowing if it pops off, I’m walking out in one piece because im strapped up with this.

Haven't gone camping yet, but this seems a good, strong, lightweight spork. The serrations don't seem so sharp they could cut hand or mouth, which I was a little concerned about. (Whether they are sharp enough to actually cut anything is a separate question...) I will be curious to see if the spoon is deep enough to hold a good mouthful of soup, and how it works as a stirrer of packaged camping food packets--I'm sure it will be fine for things like oatmeal or rice. Will come back with more detail after I've used this on a real outing. I plan to take only this spork and maybe a small paring knife. I can just tuck the spork into the net bag that holds the Toakes camping pot, and the knife (in a protector case) into the little holding slip along the side of the bag. The spork won't fit into that slip because of its shape.
