Superior plastic cutlery

Purchased with a plate/tray and cup on SAC for $5.33. Mess kit not offered on BC.

Snapping the three together is nice but it doesn't feel like they would hold together if they were floating around in your pack. Luckily you can string a dog tag chain through the holes at the end or wrap a rubber band around them to keep them together. I keep mine inside of my cooking pot and they stay together just fine.

Of course they're not as durable as any metal utensils, but I'd worry more about the knife or fork poking through my pack than something in my pack breaking the utensils. They're superior to any plastic utensils I've found at my local supermarket.

I didn't test the knife's sharpness except to press it to my skin. It feels sharp and sturdy enough to handle a loaf of Italian bread (the hard kind that you could break open over your knee). The fork's tongs aren't as impressive to me. They moved a bit when I stabbed them into some of the crustier (ie, burnt) areas of my campfire-cooked pies and sammiches. If I continue to eat such things with my fork the tongs will eventually break. GSI provides deeper and sharper tongs than my titanium spork but they are not as strong.

Most importantly: they are comfortable! You can eat with these all day without cutting the corners of your mouth!

Overall, a great set. They make buying titanium utensils an option.
