Great idea, poor execution

By Ian Thompson Ranked #307 - Flatware and Utensils July 22, 2008

I really wanted to like these little guys. I purchased 4 of them. Maybe the food I was eating was too solid for such a lightly constructed utensil. The tongs on the first foon bent. It seemed quite flimsy, especially where it telescopes out and locks into place. I resorted to using traditional plastic cutlery and felt safer doing so.

I purchased this mainly for its compact size. I guess I should have looked into something more rugged and durable even though it may have taken up more room in my pack. If you choose to go with this utensil, stick with softer foods.
