Light My Fire Titanium Spork Camping Spoon Fork Knife Combo Reusable Travel & Camping Utensils - Unbreakable Non-Toxic BPA Free Outdoor Backpacking Hiking Picnic Utensil, 1 Metal Spork

i have like 6 of these, so i thought it was time to update my review... (original below) this is no typical "spork"! for over a hundred years now there have been sporks, in the traditional sense a spork is simply a spoon with small tines at the end of the bowl... i first encountered sporks in the plastic cutlery provided with to go meals by kentucky fried chicken restaurants back in the 70's... i never really thought this original design spork was practical since the tines weren't really great at forking anything, & they also rendered the spoon part not so effective at spooning things... a design with limited functionality, which to me is too much of a compromise... especially frustrating if trying to scrape out the last bits of your meal from a bowl... however, the light my fire design PERFECTS the concept of spork by separating the spoon & fork at opposite ends of the utensil, as such you have a completely functional actual smooth edged spoon on one end, & on the other an almost completely functional fork, i say almost since the fork end isn't quite as useful as a typical long tined fork, but it is so much more functional as a fork than the traditional spork design... also, with the addition of a serrated "cutting" edge on one side of the fork, it really does a better job of cutting bites off whatever than an actual long tined fork.... so, as i said, this is so much more than a spork! i guess this can still be called a spork since it does combine the spoon & fork into one utensil, but duh, put them at opposite ends to make them function as intended! perhaps it should be called spork plus, or real spork? either way, this is the PERFECT spork & serves my family very well, both at home & on the trail, i carry one or two in all my bags & mess kits... my only complaint would be it's length, sometimes it is nice to have a longer utensil for stirring big pots of boiling whatever, or of course for those that eat dehydrated meals out of a bag, & while this light my fire spork does strike a nice balance between being compact yet a practical functional size, it is definitely a bit short for some things as other reviews have mentioned, so i have added a long handled titanium spoon to my kit for such purposes... regardless tho, everyone needs the light my fire titanium spork in their kit, i like to give them as gifts! i've been using mine regularly for a couple years now & they are like new! the most functional of any spork design ever, & very packable... never leave home without it! original review: 11/14/13 the best & only spork you will ever need! i am not a fan of plastic, no way, no how, so when i saw this classic spork in titanium i got a little excited... have used it now multiple times backpacking, camping, & picnicking & i love it! easy to clean, super tough, extremely lightweight, & very versatile... fits well in the side pocket of my condor water bottle pouch & has become a permanent part of my cook kit... my son loved it so much i had to get him one of his own so we could both chow down in style around the campfire... will probably get a couple more next season for backups should either get lost, highly recommended! wish there was a titanium version of their larger serving spork too, maybe someday?

I have been using my spork now for two months constantly as I backpack. I am currently in Cambodia, and the spork is a delight. First off, it is light, yet far stronger than any plastic fork or spoon you can find. I use mine for making coffee, having cereal, noodles, rice with meat, bacon, eggs, and just about anything else. The spoon is for me perfect for eating cereal or yogurt. And the fork end does not bother at all when using the spoon. Turning the spork around, and using the fork end, the spoon handle does take a little getting used to, but soon it rests easily in your hand. Although the spork is titanium it is still very thin, to save weight, and should be treated as a plastic utensil. However, in saying that, although I have red that other readers broke theirs, I have to admit that you must really manhandle the spork in order to do so. The points of the fork is not as sharp as a normal forks ends, which may make it a bit harder to stick in your steak if you cook it to the point that it is as hard as wood. Then it may be possible to break the spork. However I had no problems with steak, sossage, beef stew, bacon, toast or chicken. One may wish the fork points to be sharper, but for me it is perfect for I just through the tool in my backpack and do not worry about it punching holes through my bag. Since most places in Asia serve rice, with many only giving chopsticks and maybe a spoon to use, I find having my fork with me a blessing. There is a serrated edge on the side of the fork end, however in most part it is useless unless you are desperate. I tried to butter my toast, and although plausible, using a knife, even a small sharp point double edge knife is easier than doing it with the serrated edge of the spork. Cutting meat is also plausible, but then I would only do it if I had no knife. I have red other customers cutting the side of their mouth with the serrated edge, however I did not even know it was a problem until a red the review. So I deliberately tried to cut myself, and have to say that you have to either rip the spork out of your mouth, or apply considerable pressure to the side of your mouth to cut yourself with it. Both not what I would consider normal eating styles. And after two months of use, without giving the serrated edge a moments thought, I have yet to cut myself. I have average hands and for me the size is perfect, although I could see that people with hulk hands my want a bigger utensil. But then weight may not be that big an issue for them, so get a real fork. All in all, after two months of backpacking, and everyday use with different foods, I highly recommend this product if you need to save on weight, and do not want to use plastic utensils. If you are only going to take one fork, take this one. Lightweight, durable, and a good compromise between functionality and compactness.

Very impressed with this little item. I work over a half hour away from my house in a building where silverware is always at a premium. Figured this small investment might save me the time and hassle of having to play hide and seek when i was ready for my meals. Item is sturdy and very lightweight. Holds up well to any and all sauces and foods ive needed it for. Its titanium so it'll take a licking (no pun intended) and keep on ticking, but i was able to use an engraver and carve my knickname in the handle in case it gets lost or if i forget to put it back in my bag after use. I also like that its not like a traditional spork in that the fork and the spoon AREN'T on the same end so your actually getting a full spoonful of soup/oatmeal/etc. The one thing i DIDN'T like about it was the seration on the side of the fork. I get that its an all purpose tool so you would expect it to have the ability to cut minor items (and i do mean minor), however I found that the serated edge is A.) too small to cut anything worthwhile and B.) more of a hindrance then anything if your putting the fork completely in your mouth. Earlier this evening I tried cutting a chicken tender and found it just smashed thru it rather then actually slicing. I've also found that rather then put the entire fork in my mouth, i just use my teeth to pull the item off as the serations have actually scratched the side of my mouth and made it a bit uncomfortable. Not a big deal i know but im surprised they don't offer a version without the serations. Other than that, I do enjoy this and think it was a great investment. I don't think the negative aspect i mentioned above is enough to deduct a full star and i'm really considering purchasing one or two more to have in case i ever lose this one. If youre one of those people always looking for silverware at work this is def a great item to buy and keep around in your bag or at your desk.

This product meets my needs exactly. I carry a rather large backpack pretty much anywhere I go. I wanted a single utensil to be useful for nearly any purpose. This is that utensil. The titanium is nice and strong yet flexible. I chose this material for that very reason. In a portable utensil such as this, I want light weight, flexibility, and longevity. Aluminum is a contender but it fatigues worse than titanium when bent such as might happen tossing a bag around nearly every day in a year, which is a distinct possibility in a bag that is carried daily. I also ordered the Sea To Summit Alpha Light Utensils and they are also an excellent quality item which serves a different purpose equally well (this item is going in my survival kit, it potentially has more uses than the spork). I'm not a climber/packer(unless you count urban packer), yet I do maintain a certain mentality to that effect with certain items I pack such as these. Either would do you well, I merely prefer the single unit spork for everyday usage. I suppose my recommendation would be to get both(types) and find what fits you the best. You can't really go wrong with either. Remember one thing: Nearly any tool has more uses than that for which it was intended. Its up to you to put together a kit that meets all the needs you MIGHT have and all the needs you WILL have with the least amount of gear. Its always good to plan contingencies as well. I prefer two of anything I can deal with having two of, with preferably two different types. Whatever, philosophy aside, you can't hate this item.

I'm kind of a Titanium 'fan boy' but with good reason. Titanium is truly a wonder metal and excels in lots of applications. It's light, strong and corrosion resistant/proof. Bing/Google/ it or look it up on Wikipedia and I think you will be amazed at its' qualities.Titanium products are also more expensive but with normal use you'll never need to replace them. About the design of this product, the spoon side is a little wide and deep but ok. The fork side is perfect with the tines slightly rounded at the tip. One edge of the fork side is slightly serrated and does not work well as a knife but I get through pizza crust without any trouble, (yes, I eat pizza with a fork, sometimes). You may find the curve a bit of an issue to hold on to but I got used to it. Finally, given titanium is so strong, they didn't need to make this thing very thick so there's not a lot of volume to hold onto. This is kind of hard to describe but it's very thin; not at all like holding on to a piece of stainless flatware. So it has limitations, but given it's one utensil trying to do the job of two if not three and to everyone's satisfaction, I think it's a perfect compromise. Finally I'm never without a utensil at work. While others scramble for extra plastic utensils, I'm set. I even have many of the women I work with admiring this spork so I began to buy them as 'gifts' to say thanks for all the food others have bought for me, (and to keep them from borrowing mine :)

Light My Fire has produced arguably the best spork, fork-spoon combination, ever made; unfortunately, they were not satisfied with this and insisted on trying to make it a knife as well. This was a bad idea for three reasons. First, the smooth side of a fork is good enough for "soft" cutting. Second, the serrations are neither long enough nor sharp enough to be much good as a knife, but they are sharp enough to damage the mouth if the wielder is careless. Third, for any serious cutting you'd need a separate knife and fork anyway. All in all it would be a much better product without the poor attempt at a knife. (Might serve as a fish scaler though.) However, other than this minor design flaw, it is a wonder: a genuinely useful spoon paired with a more than adequate fork in an ergonomic design, made of virtually indestructible titanium. Of course making the other utensil the handle of the one you are using will present difficulties if you need to switch back and forth without being able to clean it first. The only other nit worth picking is that the sunken lettering of the logo on the top of the handle is an annoying dirt catcher, a defining case of "too much information". Still, for the purpose of substituting a single utensil for two, either in the great outdoors or the cubicle jungle, it cannot be beat! Note: These items are also available in Teflon-friendly, heat resistant, BPA-free copolyester, individually: Light My Fire Spork , with a tiny carrying case to keep it clean: Light My Fire SporkCase with 1 Spork , and in 4-packs: Light My Fire Spork 4-Pack , and there is a slightly larger model for the "large handed" (or the "large stomached"): Light My Fire Spork XM and an even larger Serving Spork: Light My Fire Serving Spork for the main dish (or for real NFL players sporking Campbell's Chunky Fully Loaded out of the Black Cans). There is now even an infant and toddler version that is thicker, rounder, with the serrations removed for safety: Light My Fire 3-Pack Spork Little and a Light My Fire Spork Lefty (Pack of 2) for southpaws. Note: When Sea To Summit designed their own spork: Sea To Summit Delta Spork With Knife , they went the opposite way, putting a MUCH better knife on one end and a combined spoon and fork on the other end, which has the major disadvantage IMHO of rendering the spoon fairly useless for soup. However, unlike Light My Fire, which has refused to back off a bad design feature except in their infant and toddler spork, Sea To Summit also offers a Sea To Summit Delta Spoon With Knife , which preserves the excellent knife and gives you a large and complete spoon on the other end. A Light My Fire Spork and a Sea To Summit Spife make the perfect pair of utensils; either in the great outdoors or the cubicle jungle, they cannot be beat,... at least until we talk Light My Fire into offering serrations free versions of their larger models.

Purchased one August of 2014 and kept it in my office desk drawer (job forced me to essentially live at work), regularly using it up to 3 times a day. Now it's September 2015, and I've found this little tool to be gratifyingly convenient, majorly portable, and utterly irreplaceable. It's also amazingly light, almost like carrying a single piece of plastic flatware. Due to its 3-tools-in-1 construction, the parts are not constantly separated or lost, as is often the case when trying to keep track of a three-piece set of flatware. Because it only requires the space of a single item, you can throw it in the drawer and forget it, then when you need it -- all the tools are still right there together! The titanium construction prevents it from being mistakenly treated as disposable by truly clueless, overly helpful souls trying to clean up after everyone else (Lost a set of plastic ones that way while taking an urgent phone call over lunchtime.). While deceptively lightweight, it's sturdy and has never broken or bent, even with thoughtless, careless and inconsiderate use. The knife edge is not a meat cleaver or filet knife, but it willingly and aptly cuts up any plated food item on which I've tried it (many!), including grilled chicken breast and sirloin steak. The fork points are not dangerously sharp but have just the right amount of point to handle vegetables and pasta without the maceration that a blunt fork would create. The spoon is smooth on the mouth -- no sharp edges -- and is actually shaped like a bonafied spoon (instead of a shovel) in order to handle puddings, soups, or multiple tiny solids quite adroitly. Even "stainless steel" will still rust and stain, but this little titanium wonder washes up very nicely and still looked brand new after a full year of heavy use. Mine just got packed away in a job move, and I'm unwilling to go without one until it's found. Sooooo, even at approx. $13 a pop, I'm back here to buy a replacement -- and I consider the price well worth it!

At first I hesitated to purchase this spork since it isn't exactly cheap. I would add it to my cart and then delete it thinking "why the heck do I want to pay 12 bucks for a spork???". Well I finally bit the bullet and bought the damn thing. I am glad I did. This little guy works perfectly. It's light as a feather yet strong enough to fend off that pesky raccoon that won't leave my dinner alone!! Take that you food stealin' varmint!! Seriously though it is just the perfect shape and size to fit with my backpack mess kit. No more cheap metal fork that always bent. No more need to carry a separate spoon. I have big mitts and this fits my hand great. I can scoop up soup nicely with the spoon end and the fork end sticks into whatever I poke at. Just ask that raccoon!! I do have the plastic version of this spork also. It came together with the mess kit. It works OK but nothing like the titanium version. I can stick this baby straight into the flame and turn that hunk of meat without any damage. The heat didn't melt or deform it like some of my previous "silverware" and the fork tines are still as sharp and strong after extended exposure to the flame. I'm hooked and have already bought another one. Just in case that damn raccoon gets wise and steals my first one!!

Encantado con el producto, como era de esperar de este marca. Al haber tenido este cubierto de la misma marca pero en plástico y harto de notar que el plástico adquiera olor y que fuera propenso a la rotura por fatiga, he optado por comprar este cubierto de Titanio de 20gr de peso medidos en bascula en contra de los 10gr del de plástico. Pros: Cómodo en todos los sentidos, agradable de tacto y puedo decir que el cuchillo funciona como se espera, sin ser una maravilla, pero que hace su función. Lo mejor es el no notar el saber metálico ni los olores de otras comidas al lavarlo, cosa que con el de plástico es mal habitual. También la facilidad al limpiarlo. ¿Cuantas veces nos ha quedado algo del café del desayuno en las hendiduras de las letras de la marxa? Por fin se ha acabado. Otra de las ventajas que todavía no he podido probar, es la posibilidad de llevar sueltos sin proteger los cubiertos dentro de la mochila. Con los de plástico, o llevas un bote para protegerlos, con el consiguiente peso extra en tu mochila, o si no te los encuentras rotos. Contras: El precio debería ajustarse un pelín más. 2 cubiertos 50 euros, duelen mucho a la cartera.

The ultimate spork. Use for work and it’s so useful. Weighs nothing and it’s very well made. I suspect it’ll outlast me.

Nice and durable and very light. Use it for work so that I always have a spoon and fork handy. A bit of an odd shape so if you're planning on using it for backpacking I would suggest trying the plastic version first before investing in the metal one...just to make sure you can fit it in your pack.

Piyasada bu ürünün dandik plastik versiyonları var. Hiç bulaşmayın. Bir kereliğine bunu alın ömür boyu kullanın. Çok kaliteli ve işe yarar bir ürün.

プラスチックの同じものを5本ぐらい今まで折ってしまっていたので、どうして最初からこれを買わなかったんだろうと思った。
