Backcountry.com Titanium Flatware - 3pc - 2010 BCS

For when you want more than a "do it all" spork? Am I right?

Anyway, this is a pretty cool little set and if you got it 50% off like I did when they were tryin to get rid of the 2010 models I'd say it'll more than pay for itself in it's usefulness and weight savings over using your normal metal kitchen utensils or plastic cutlery. . . yeah.

A lot of people have had a lot of different things to say about this set, but I personally love it.
While the titanium tiny 'biner is kind of useless, it's still cool and made of titanium. So you may not need/want to take it with you on the trail, it's still neat to have.

As far as the actual flatwear is concerned it is very small, as the user pic shows above. Now this is a good thing in my opinion, but you may need something longer for stirring if you have a deep pot. Mine is tiny so these tiny pieces work just fine. Thus, the weight for each piece is nothing and no one ever said you had to take all 3.

The fork works like a fork, spoon isn't too small, and the knife is usable even to cut meat. While they may bend a bit, they'll bend back, MAGIC! They are a bit gritty from the bead blasting, but your teeth shouldn't ever need to touch them as that's what lips are for.

I look forward to using these for a long time.

Great price and light weight. While many swear by the light my fire spork, which I also like, I find myself needing a fork and knife at the same time or having a meal where I need a fork and spoon. With the spork, my hands get all dirty, so I prefer to have a separate fork, knife and spoon. While others use thier utility knife, mine is generally pretty dirty. On top of that after a long day on the trail, I like to wind down and enjoy my dinner. With as light and cheap as they are, I would gladly take these over a spork any day.

For you super UL'ers, take out the carabiner and knife (if you have a utility knife) and save more weight

These little guys are great for the price! I have used them a few times and they have never let me down. I wouldn't digging into some phish food with them but most foods should not pose a problem.

I bought this set to use while I was living in the dorms, and they haven't let me down. The carabiner is great for keeping everything together while traveling. The spoon did bend after about a month and a half of scooping peanut butter, but I just bent it back and it still works great.

I really like this flatware set better then the Snowpeak I have. The difference is mainly in the handle. I like the wide flat stem on the handle more then the smaler SnowPeak handle. The fork and spoon are pretty small but, they get the job done.

I have learned to respect backcountry products but this is not one of them.
You will find better quality at the Dollar store. Cheap materials, far too thin, design is literally something to be ashamed of.
Blind people must have approved of something so utterly Poor. No doubt they are standing in the unemployment line by now.

The set is quite handy for traveling. I often found that the utensils were useful when I wanted a decent snack or quick meal, but did not want to visit a restaurant. Especially in Europe, while visiting markets, the utensils kept me from using plastic utensils and were always handy on trains and boats. Especially at such a reasonable price, you cannot go wrong adding these to your backpack.
