Weight

Construction Quality
Made from pure uncoated titanium, corrosion proof and food safe.

Some forum users report the long handle taking a slight bend over years of hard use.
No moving parts to fail, the single piece is the whole strength story.

What Other Camping Utensil Sets Should You Consider?
Not sold on this one? A few others from our testing are worth a look.
The Snow Peak Titanium Spork is our best backpacking spork. The one utensil here that is genuinely bend-proof, a lifetime titanium spork that survives abuse the others cannot.
The Light My Fire Spork Original 4-Pack is our best value camping spork. Cheap, feather light and colour coded for the family, but the plastic can snap and the knife edge barely cuts.
The Sea to Summit Frontier Ultralight Cutlery Set is our best ultralight cutlery. A three piece aluminium set that weighs almost nothing, but the thin metal bends easily and the handle edges feel sharp.
