Product Information

The Snow Peak Titanium Spork is a really popular option for thru-hikers who rate the wide spoon and narrow handle for its durability. It is made in Japan from premium titanium and expert craftsmanship to ensure that it never corrodes, leeches chemicals, or leaves a flavor residue. Spoon or fork? It's both! Hurray, the spork is here! What you may sound at first like alien invader with dubious intentions is actually a wonderfully practical helper for outdoor meals! The word "spork" is a combination of the words "spoon" and "fork". This practical multi-tool cutlery is not just a play on words, it is quite literally on everyone's lips and should not be missing in any set of camping cutlery that wants to be taken seriously. If your leave for a tour without your spoon-fork, you have definitely forgotten something! And let's be honest, even the most boring canned ravioli becomes a feast when eaten with a cool spork! So what can a spoon-fork do?

In an environment where conventional metal, hard plastic or disposable cutlery may pose a danger or risk to those under supervision or care, the SuperSafe™ Spork proves a perfect alternative. Somewhere, there must be an immutable law of industrial design that states that the usability of each additional function added to a multi-purpose device drops proportionally to the number of functions added. Like an office printer/scanner/fax, or even a Swiss Army knife, no single functionality works as well as a dedicated machine or tool would. Sometimes, it’s good enough (Army knife), but sporks don’t meet my threshold. Too bad, because it’s such a fun word. The sporf is an unsolvable design problem. Think about it: It’s a tool with three jobs—it's a fork, a spoon and a knife—but isn't equipped to do any of them well. The utensil was pretty much born to fail. As if that isn't enough, it's also got a horrible name, so we will refer to it as a spork, which is a great name. Sporks are great for soups and other runny foods that need the bowl of a spoon. I use my titanium spork for soup all the time, and it is great for cooling it down when it’s too hot. The two different types of spork are the single head and the dual head. Single-head sporks have a handle at one end and a spoon/fork/knife at the other. Double-headed sporks most commonly have a full spoon at one end and a fork/knife at the other.A splade features a spoon, fork, and blade just like a spork. I actually don’t understand the difference even after extensive research, so, to be honest, I don’t think there is a difference other than you can get double-headed sporks, but a splade is typically all at one end. Can You Eat Soup with A Spork? The SuperSafe™ Knife has a unique rippled blade design that cuts through food but can’t be used as a weapon. It can’t be snapped or sharpened: it’s the practical and safe alternative to a conventional metal, hard plastic or disposable knife. This model is a utilitarian, familiar, and practically indestructible on the go utensil, earning it our favor over all others You don’t need anything special to clean a titanium spork; just some soap and water will be fine. You can throw it in the dishwasher or scrub it with a rough sponge without worry, and it only takes a few seconds to clean. Material: Wood, titanium, aluminum, nylon, or plastic? Metal sporks will be the most durable, as plastic can break. Wooden and bamboo sporks tend to break down with use, but they are usually biodegradable.

A spork is the combination of a fork and a spoon into one handy utensil. Camping sporks often add a short cutting edge on one side to complete your cutlery set and give you everything you need to eat a three-course meal outdoors. You can get sporks made from plastic, wood, steel, aluminum, and titanium, which is our material of choice when it comes to camping cookware. Here are the most important properties of a spork and some guidance about how to select one that will work best for you. Here are some of the features we recommend you consider before buying. These are also the guidelines we followed when testing them, Material Finally, I’ve found that my Alpkit Snapwire Foon has a tendency to fold up on itself if I’m using it to eat food that is quite dense, such as macaroni and cheese, which is a little irritating.

How to Choose a Backpacking Spork: Key Criteria

This extra long utensil is the perfect tool for camp cooking but not without a minor sacrifices in comfort You can't design a perfect sporf, er, spork, because there will always be compromises. But it is possible to design a better spork. A more usable spork. A less ugly spork. Map Project has done exactly that. The London studio recently unveiled the Tritensil, which is a fancy name for a spork with a knife on it. But it’s the prettiest damn spork in existence, and a testament to what creative design thinking can do.

Length: If you need to reach deep into a freeze-dried or rehydrated meal bag, or a deep cook pot like a Jetboil, a long length spoon can be quite desirable. Look for spoons that are 7 to 8 inches in length, as opposed to shorter ones that are 6 to 7 inches long. The UCO Titanium Utility Spork is the number 1 best titanium spork for camping that we have tested. We love the spoon’s shape and size, which is perfect for soups, yogurt, and chocolate pudding. The fork also has proper prongs like an actual fork, unlike many other options. On top of this, one of the for edges has a mildly serrated edge for chopping, which comes in handy when cooking and portioning food.

The spoon is nice and wide with an ergonomic angle that makes eating soups or stews from a pan or bag easy. The fork prongs are on the short side and don’t work too well for stabbing food, but as a camping cooking utensil, it works perfectly fine. If you enjoy a nice beer at the end of a hard day hiking or are going camping with friends, then this is a great addition to your kit. Folding: If you want to have a cook kit that folds completely into a mug or cook pot, getting a folding spork is the way to go. Metal folding sporks tend to be more durable than plastic ones. Don’t try to use them as tent stakes though. They’re not stiff or strong enough. Available as: 1) SPORK - Combined Spoon/Fork 2) 'Knife' only (Now available) 3) 'Knife' and Spork Set

In situations where a conventional metal, hard plastic or disposable knife might pose a risk, the SuperSafe™ Knife is the safer and economical alternative to those under supervision or care The Light My Fire Titanium Camping Spork is another 3-in-1 combination that features a full spoon at one end and a knife/fork at the other. This is the titanium version of the ever-popular plastic originals by Light My Fire, so we know the design is tried and tested. Overall you can’t ask for much more out of a titanium spork, and surprisingly it is one of the best value options too. They both do the job however, I personally like a dual head with a full spoon which often means a more effective spork. The spoon bowl should have a little depth to it so you can get a full mouthful on there, and the fork should be able to skewer soft food. Multi-purpose: There’s something to be said for having a multi-purpose spork that can open beer bottles or cans, even if they do weigh more than other options. It all depends on your most frequent needs and priorities.When your duty of care calls for a reliable, practical alternative to the potential dangers of harmful, hard cutlery, the SuperSafe™ Knife is the proven choice for safety, reliability and economy. With a spork, you get a fork that can’t grab onto much, and a spoon that can’t hold much. I just carry a real fork and a real spoon (both of sturdy polycarbonate), and do some extra leg squats to be able to haul the extra ounce. Sporks are a really affordable piece of camping gear (Image credit: dancestrokes) Are there any disadvantages to using a spork? The SuperSafe™ Spork is simple, safer and easy to use.
