What do you get when you combine a spoon and a fork? You get the ultimate eating utensil, the Spork. Make this utensil out of titanium and you have Snow Peak's ultra-light Spork, weighing in at only 1/2 ounce. The meticulously engineered tip of the Spork makes it an all-purpose eating utensil. Because it is made of titanium you will experience no metallic smell or taste. Also, it does not rust like other metals. There is no other way to go for serious lightweight hiking.
Big fan of the titanium spork. It's really strong and won't break like too many lexan utencil's I've tried. The only draw back is that it's really cold to eat of metal in freezing temps. Can double as a tent stake or a rappel anchor in a pinch.
Very much so my favourite eating utensil. I love my Spork! The weight is crazy little, which isn't why I bought it since I'm not a weight weenie, but it is nice. It does everything I need it to; eat ramen, stews, stab meat, and stir my pot. Only utensil I bring with me, including to university when I brown bag it. Have stepped on it, dropped it, abused it mercilessly, and it still has not even bent, never mind broke. Super durable.
Who lays inside stuff sack waiting to be used? Who's titanium handle has never been abused? Who stabs at noodles, spoons up soup, and shovels Captain Crunch? Only one will i choose to help me eat my lunch. Who's pointy spikes and rounded end puts forks and spoons to shame? Who makes the knives cringe in fear when they hear his name? Who is the mighty king of all the silverware? Who's mighty frame should always be handled with respect and care? Who has been man's loyal and helpfull dinner-mate? Who's only purpose is to lift the food from your plate? Who can tackle ramen, Crystal Light, and even chewy pork? Only one can do these things... and that friends is the SPORK!
The space (anybody know what the space between the spork blades are called?) between the spork blades, particularly the Snow Peak sporks as not all brands are created equal, makes a fantastic clamp for your gourmet backpacking food package while in the process of re-hydrating. See pic. Once you've completed the re-hydration process you can even use it to shovel the food into your face, amazing! Makes a nice poo poo shovel too, ewww, well maybe not. I've even tried hiking with it attached to my nose, you know, when you expire hot breath onto the spork and hang it from your nose, that didn't work either, the wildlife just looked at me funny.
The spork, most notably the Snowpeak titanium spork, is one of the greatest purchases I have ever made. Actually....my first spork was awarded to me by my platoon leader before we went to Iraq, the five I just bought were for Xmas gifts....And it isn't just an eating utensil...It is a screwdriver, a shovel, a staple remover, and so much more....there are countless uses for this spork....and the fact that it is titanium and not just some plastic knock-off makes it that much better...It is the ONLY eating utensil I use, no matter where I am in the world....
I know the craze is lexan utensils, but why? This spork has served me well over the last few years and I never even think about it breaking and I only need 1 utensil, genius...Thanks Snowpeak!
I have been a spork bearer for quite some time now, and is still the ONLY eating utensil I use. Period. I was devastated when I thought I had lost it, so I bought 5 more in hopes that Murphy's Law would kick in. It did, and I have MY spork back and am using 1 of the new sporks as back up and the other four as gifts...( side note: Its takes about 2 years of solid use to wear off that matte finish to a nice polished look)
Some people use spoons. Some people use forks. Some people use both. Some people use their fingers.
There are also those people who need reliability, and use a more exotic material for their utensils, like Titanium. This makes for a very lightweight, resiliant, and sturdy tool.
Then, there are those of us who just want the niftiest tools around, and you simply can't find something more impressive than a Titanium Spork.
Most amazingly, these things are *useful*. I've had mine for a couple of months now, and I literally carry it with me all the time.
The bowl of the spoon is slightly oversized, compared to most spoons (and especially to the cheap plastic sporks), allowing it to make an effective and usable spoon, even with the tines.
At the same time, the tines are elongated compared to plastic sporks, giving you a quite effective fork.
Since receiving my Titanium Spork, I've made it a standard part of my eating utensils. I started by using it for things like mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Later, I tried with with beef stew, oatmeal, and eventually, even cold breakfast cereals. It managed to work its way through each of them with flying colors. It truly is the most versatile eating utensil I've ever seen.
For practicality, you can't beat it. And, you'll be the envy of all of your friends, too. I promise.
Did I mention that my Titanium Spork has even provided a handy conversation piece when trying to pick up chicks? Is there anything it can't do? ;-)
for less than an ounce, you get a fork AND a spoon in an tough titanium package. What's not to like? Well, I guess the price is a bit much... I certainly have never paid anywhere close to this much for any other silverware, but hey, it's worth it. You'll never need another eating utensil while outdoors.
This is a great spork, and for 99% of people buying it, it will be perfect, but for that last 1%, the die hard ultralighters, there are still lighter titanium sporks on the market
I received this spork for my birthday after years of wanting such a useful tool. The spork is the greatest invention in the history of silverware. It works perfect for everything from melon and fruit eating to noodles and potatoes. No need to bring anything but the spork. Now, with it in titatnium I can bring my spork with me wherever I go and not have to worry about needlessly wasting plastic. I love my titanium spork.
I bought this spork for my boyfriend's birthday. He loves it very much, although he wishes that the titanium could've been a little thicker, because it is very easy to bend out of shape, but realizes that the thinner it is, the lighter it is, and that is assuredly important to people who backpack, just not those who require a pimp spork like he does.
I love to eat and HATE using plasic stuff. I keep this in my bookbag and it's been working great. I haven't used it for soup yet, but it works great with yogurt and salad. My only complaint is- no carrying case.
This is one awesome utensil. No metallic taste, lightweight and hardcore. However, when combined with my snow peak 600 cup, sounds of metal scraping metal make my ears bleed.
Maybe not a perfect replacement for a knife, fork, and spoon combo, but a great deal lighter. The spork allows you to eat soup and salad with very little difficulty, and that's all I could ask. Unbelievably light and yet still very sturdy.
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love to eat. The spork provided me the opportunity to shovel in mass quantities of food without having to switch eating implements. Think of the energy and weight savings! I was able to pack another Debbiecake along!!! Great Ti tool!!!
This is a great utensil. I liked it so much that I ended up getting two! It's very lightweight and does exactly what it's designed to do, from stirring your coffee to poking your pasta. You can't go wrong with the spork.
It's hard not to love a titanium spork. It does what it's supposed to and is light enough for even die-hard ultra light backpackers to toss in a pack and forget about until it's needed. The only thing really missing is a cutting edge, but one could easily file and sharpen one into the utensil if one wanted. Just buy it already. It's cheap enough. ;-)
I was initially skeptical that I could eat anything but soup with this little gizmo. But after using it for salads, stews, soups and regular food items I not only have one for my camping & hiking gear, I carry one in my purse at all times!! No longer am I the victim of broken plastic forks at fast-food establishments, or worse, no utensils at all. if you only buy, or can afford, one new item for your kit bag this year, make it this one!! (And if needs be, it makes a last-ditch self-defense weapon-it is sturdy as heck.) I love mine!
The best spork I have ever used. I had one years ago, that my wife claims "got lost" in one of our moves. Some women can't appreciate a single utensil which can be used to consume everything from soup to spaghetti. I also purchased one for our 3 year old son. Now there are two of us eating with sporks full-time. His is on a back rawhide strap, mine is blue. It cleans up well and is incredibly light.
I use the spork for my 6-year-old daughter who has special needs and for my typically developing 3-year-old daughter. It helps them both to practice stabbing food and allows them to use the bowl to scoop. The spork helps ease frustration for difficult-to-eat foods while teaching them both to use a fork properly.
This is a man's utensil. You can eat anything with it. From Weet-Bix, ham and cheese, to spag bog. You name it, it does it. Buy it, and be a better person
I like eating with this bad boy better than our nice silver at home. Definately the minimalists tool. So light! almost feels like there is nothing in your hand. I look forward to using this piece of equipment for the rest of my life.
When your criteria calls for packing light and having versatile utensils, then this is what you want. "Buy it and be a better person" might be a stretch.
The spork is great. It is the most versatile design ever. It allows you eat anything from chicken breast to soup (I've tried both) without you having to eat chicken with a spoon or soup with a fork. But if you only car camp, or plastic silverware is sturdy enough for your eating needs, it is really not essential. But in this case, overkill doesn't create much of a problem, if the price doesn't bother you.
I've tried, I think, every ti or steel spork out there, and this is by far the best. Perfect size for when you're sharing a pot and dividing the meal by number of spoonfuls. The fork stabs steak and the spoon is deep enough to eat soup without spilling all over yourself. I've even used the handle end as a screwdriver on my Granite Gear pack. Oh, and it's wicked light. I've had one for a while now, and I bought several for gifts this year.
Not sure yet about the product yet since it's a gift for my weirdo boyfriend. He really wanted one so I bought it for him. Seems really sturdy and the spoon is lighter and larger than I thought. But c'mon, who doesn't love a spork...fruit cocktail anyone?
Yep, that's right, someone thought it was as cool as I did. The year+ I had this it was great for EVERYTHING and to piggy-back off "Platygirl," You could probably use this to take down a bear. Gonna add one to todays order to replace the one that got away. If you like light-weight and totally functional tools/utensils, then get one today. JC
My sporks will never see the outdoors. They were purchased as an aid for my Mother who has Parkinsons disease, and so far they have worked wonderfully! Thanks for offering such a great product that is as versatile as my review suggests.
Light as a feather, functional, and made of "space-age" materials. Suitable for beanie weenies and haute cuisine. Nothing like a titanium spork to show the world that you are a true ultralight backpacker and a cutlery aficionado of discerning taste. Ranks high on the "dude, cool" scale.
I had been using a stolen set of silverware from some restaurant, which worked well and was free, so I didn't think that it was a good idea to buy a spork, but now, I wouldn't use anything else. It's lightweight, you only need one, it's great for cooking, great for eating; just all around great. Snowpeak did a great job with this spork.
it's light, low profile, and smooth which makes it easy to clean with a quick wipe. the fork part is useful and strong. i've been able to easily eat meals of different consistencies. what else can one say about a spork?
I have a PCS Jet Boil that I eat out of for trips. Unfortunately I wish I would have gone with lexan for its lightweight and the fact that it will not scratch the Jetboil container. The titanium spork is great for being lightweight.
Good so far. Not much to tell..it's a spoon (spork). It seems fairly resilient to mechanical abuse and does a decent job of insulating heat from your lips and tongue. Much better than Aluminum or Stainless Steel. I got it because my supposedly unbreakable lexan spoon folded in half without warning while I was stirring ramen on the latest outing. I will update this further if I find anything extraordinary about this piece of equipment (which one might argue is more important than toilet paper) lol
After seeing this, I just had to buy two of these sporks: one for the office and one for camping. Although it's lightweight, it is sturdy for the purposes I put it through, and it just feels good between my fingers. It's not the lightest available out there, but it works for me!
I love multipurpose items. Thankfully, it doesn't bring back too many memories of elementary school cafeteria food. Fun to use, lightweight, and cheap!
This spork has been a favored piece of camping gear for years, but I recently added one to my office tools. In an environment where the communal kitchen utensils are sparse and unpredictably clean, it's nice to have one piece that fulfills my lunch-at-desk needs. It's easy to clean and has many practical uses on the trail or in the office. Makes a great gift.
First off I love sporks, after seeing this I new this was a must have. It takes up no room in my pack. The only other thing I need is a titanium knife and I'm good to go.
Titanium is light but is it worth it. I love sporks as much as the next person when eating taco bell but they just don't work for me when Im backpacking.
Great little utensil to have in backcountry. Didn't buy one forever, but finally did and wish I had bought one sooner. Light, strong, and Titanium is 100's time easier to clean than the plastic stuff. Does great as fork or spoon. Little longer forks to stab your food than Brunton My-Ti which is nice and has a little narrower handle than the Brunton.
The Snow Peak Titanium Spork is all you need when you are on the trail. It's very light, packs well, and is really the only food utensil you need. The Snowpeak Titanium Spork is definitely worth the money.
Do I love my Titanium Spork? Does a panda eat bamboo shoots... I think so! This is the greatest eating utensil ever created. Not only can I eat just about anything on planet earth with this marvel of modern engineering, but if I ever have the need to replace the wing root on an SR-71, I will have the material to do it.
I got this as gift many years ago and never expected to love it as much as I do. It has a very simple, clean design which makes it easy to wipe off. The titanium has held up far better than any plastic ever would and of course, it is lightweight. I tied a small lanyard on mine so I can clip it off to a mug or out of the way in a cook tent.
