Maintain your ultralight ethic without eating like a caveman thanks to the MSR Spork. This collapsible combo utensil stabs pasta, scoops soup, and spread peanut butter like nobody’s business, all for less than a single ounce.
Bottom Line: One utensil to rule them all.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

This spork does exactly what it is supposed to do. Its light. Short enough when closed for packing. Long enough when opened for those harder to reach meals. Locks tight without collapsing. The plastic doesn't harm my cookware. I am interested to see how durable the plastic is, as well as how well the locking mechanism holds up, after many uses. But the price is right and it does its job perfectly. You won't regret picking this spork up.
Length is a Plus

When I bought this folding spork I was a little bummed about the length. The minimalist in me said that I could still eat with this spork if I just broke off the folding part.
It was a little later that the I realized this length is there for a very good reason. This length is a must for digging into mountain house meals or any other kind of bagged food that requires a utensil.
I also like the fact that is plastic. I have a non-stick coated mess kit, so in the event that I am eating directly out of the pot I don't have to worry about scratching up the coating.

The exact answer is given by dti, but I wanted to add that this is a great length for digging into those deep mountain house bags, while still folding down to a good size to throw in a mess kit with your stove and canister.

Works great. The handles are nice and long. It's easy to reach in a freeze dried bag. My only complaint is the price. It's just a fancy piece of plastic. Why did the Flex 4 system not come with these by default? Drop the price or include them and I'd give this spork 4 stars.

This was a great purchase. This spork worked great with the dehydrated meals. The extra length allowed me to eat my meals without getting my hands or gloves covered in food from the dehydrated food containers.
I would agree with Geoff, if its not specifically on their list, its probably ok--though ultimately its up to the Agents checking your carry-ons.
Hypothetically, note I am not recommending this :D -- you could just stick it in your pocket and walk through the metal detector. This has no metal in it, and as long as you aren't wearing skinny jeans, they would never know the difference.

I don't see sporks on the TSA's prohibited items list and I doubt this is much sharper than your average butter knife (which are allowed). I think you'll be ok.

Wow do I love this spork. The things that I like: It is very light, it is longer than any other backpacking utensil that I have owned, it folds up to fit into my cooking pot, the locking mechanism is bomber and holds tightly. The things that I don't like: nothing, I have no idea how they could make this spork better. The price is great too, I highly recommend it.
Nice spork.

Nice design: nice size for packing, length is good and it snaps firmly in place when unfolded. It's cheap. The only downside is that it's plastic and could break.
Good spork

Puts food in my mouth, like the long handle for digging tuna from a pouch, locks into place without collapsing
