Snow Peak Spork

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? ;-)

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.

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 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 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)
