Faced with food that hovers between solid and liquid? Never fear, the ultralight Backcountry.com Titanium Spork is here. Its rust-proof, non-metallic tasting properties ensure you won’t want to leave home without it.
Nice Job. I keep this thing in my office for daily use - it's much better than the plastic forks I've been reusing for the past year (but then again, what isn't) .
I've read some reviews that the full set of knife, spoon, fork is pretty flimsy, but this one seems sturdy enough. Though I would recommend eschewing heavy lifting. I'm sure it would bend if you put enough force into it - so avoid repeated episodes with frozen ice cream, and you should be good.

IT IS WONDERFUL! I love my spork as much as ancient warriors loved their swords. I use this ultralightweight beast to DEVOUR my meals. And of course the little goat on the spork lets me represent the GREATEST store in the world --> backcountry.com!!! And on a more technical note, the spork is really strong, I don't understand how something so thin doesn't bend or break.
This spork is much nicer IMHO then the Snowpeak model. The "spoon" portion acutally hold liquid, the tines work better then expected, and the flat wide handle is easy to hold to navigate. The other items are the Backcountry Ti flatware set for comparison.
I just want to point out that I bought this item knowing it was a spork. No spork is ever as good as a separate spoon and fork, but this little bugger is as close to being perfect as possible. I still prefer to eat with separates because the tines are not long enough to properly hold some items and I rather have a deeper spoon. This holds true for 99% of all sporks I have tried. This product was well designed and you cannot beat titanium. The rating I gave this product reflects the product itself for what it is...a non-committal utensil.
If you are comparing this between the snow peak option, choose the one from backcountry.com! It is light and sturdy and all you need for eating. The quality is fantastic and I haven't been able to see any difference between the 2 brands. If you look, the handle has a brushed look while the business end of the spork has a polished shiney look. I'm not sure what the purpose of this is but it makes for a smooth eating surface. I like it! Also, many of you are probably using a plastic spork, upgrade to the titanium, it is very light and strong.
I use the polish line to measure 2 cups of water in my B.C. 700 Ti!! Great reference point! And feels like stainless steel in your mouth, and easy to clean area!!!
Spoon is deep enough to actually be used as such; teeth are aggressive enough to grip meat and fish with. The goat love is nice and it has a pretty cool look to it.
Seemingly bulletproof, I see this as a permanent fixture on my utensil keyring.
This backcountry spork won't disappoint you. It's durable and won't crack like some really cheap plastic utensils out there. However, when preference comes into play, this spork didn't really hold up. The non-metallic properties started to wear away, and things stick much easier to it when cleaning comes around. You can get cheaper separate utinsils made of lexan that will remedy these problems of preference. If you can't seem to spare the extra gram or two,however, this spork will be fine.
This it the only utensil you need for cooking / eating. Strong enough to cut with just the right length to eat out of a bag or stir in a pot. And not to mention is just pretty damn cool.
This spork is incredibly useful. Even with spaghetti I had no trouble eating. Ok, maybe a tiny bit of trouble but this spork is way more versatile than I expected. And how can you beat the price?!?!
Got mine this morning and have used it twice already! Cereal, worked great! And ramen noodles, to see how well it worked and it was pretty good for a spork!!! It will work great for freeze dried food, and it feels like stainless steel to the lips instead of a chalk board like other ti utensils!! I'll be buying more while they're this cheap!! 5.56 is a great price, it's like two for one!!!! Also looking to get the long handled spoon for freezer bags!!!
I hate the feel of plastic when I eat. It isn't rigid, feels greasy after the first bite, and never seems clean. It also lacks that metallic tingle on your tongue that reminds you that you are outdoors.
As far a sporks go, this one is my favorite so far. Its tines are long enough to grab most food easily, and the spoon itself is thin enough to easily scoop without pushing. The depth of the spoon is shallow, allowing for better clearance of your lips. (I know this sounds absurd to analyze the features of a spork, but trust me, it is easy to eat with this thing. When you have lips chapped from a week in the sun and thin air and are sick of rehydrated food, every little joy helps.)
First off....nobody really talks about this. Backcountry.com is so very fast at sending out after you ordered. Crazy fast. And there return policy is great. And most of all shipping is free. It's a spoon and fork combined!! Simple and they make it great. I have a snow peak spork and my wife's backcountry titanium spork spoon all the way up the trail in my pack! Seriously it's light and strong.
This is the best seven bucks I ever spent. I also bought one of these for each of my boys. The oldest one will be an Eagle Scout in a couple months so you know how much use these got. Not only are they strong and light weight, but they also work. I have noticed the tines are longer on these then most other models. I think that is the key to why they work so well. We have had ours for over a year and they still look brand new.
This was the only utensil I brought on my camping trip to Alaska and it was great. It works as both a spoon and a fork (duh), the tine to bowl ratio is sufficient enough so that sipping soup is still easy. Additionally, it was our go-to for stirring because it doesn't transfer heat up the handle, preventing ouchie burns. I was mocked for my spork at the beginning of the trip but my companions saw the light when burdened with their crummy pedestrian utensils.
I really don't understand why people are satisfied being sheep and continue to eat rice, corn, peas or other small foods with a fork. I constantly see people struggling to get small bits of food on their forks balanced all the way to their mouth without spilling it. The Spork is THE BEST tool for eating almost anything. It's much easier to "scoop" your food with a utensil made to do it. And it still has the functionality of a fork for any food you need to jab. Why are you not buying this spork to eat instead? Do you just continue to use a fork because you have always done it that way? Do you not have room in your life for improvement just because you've always done something a certain way? Get yourself one of these sporks and start being efficient eating your food.
Very sturdy. I've used it a bit but can't comment on long term wear; I think its pretty cool so far. The Fork part pokes things pretty well but of course it has Spork limitations when spooning thin liquids. Well worth the price to have all your utensils in one indestructable place though.
Yup, it is a spork. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, sturdy, and lightweight all-in-one eating utensil...you found it. Never worry about breaking plastic again!
I call it a spork, others told me it was a foon....not sure what its name really is, but it is a great utensil! Very light, very sturdy, the only utensil you need when eating at the campsite. At home, it is perfect to scoop ice cream right out the container when it's all frozen hard!
Nice product, great price. Gave them as wedding guest gifts with an eco-friendly enclosed message. Some guests have already incorporated them into their daily eating out routines. Can't say I've yet tried it myself, but like the looks of it - streamlined.
I bought 30 of these for a family reunion. I made small a loop of 1/16" cable that goes through the tiny hole in the handle and joined the cable ends together with a blue electrical spicer. Then I hooked the loop through a caribiner.
So everyone has their own titanium tasting spoon.
I live in Colorado so I also backpack/snowshow in the winter to 10th Mnt Division Huts at 12,000 feet. they have silverwear up in the huts, but you can't beat having your own titanium spork up there. And it's perfect for thermos chili on ski/board days at Copper or Breck.
PS: I have a Miyata titanium racing bike with full dura ace components, so I had to have a tinanium spork. And these were a deal!
It's compact and light which makes it nice for overnight kayak trips and whatnot. Also, it's polished to a mirror finish, so I can use it to coiffe my sweet do as well.
I dig it. It's small enough to put in my ski jacket and then eat soup or a can of tuna while skiing. You guessed it, I'm a total beater and a cheapskate on the mountain.
this Titanium spork I think its the best, it is a better material than the other ones on this website. it has worked really good with pretty much anything.
Yup, it's a SPORK. Sloppy, soupy camp food made it all the way to my mouth and the tines made sure I could stab the crap out of anyone who came near that last bite. Mine. The fact that it is made of titanium makes me think of the Space Shuttle, which also has a bunch of titanium in it. Space age backcountry silverwear. Awesome.
