Ka-Bar Tactical Spork (Spoon Fork Knife) Tool 9909

Product Information

Titanium is incredibly lightweight and completely *biocompatible, so it doesn’t corrode or leech taste/chemicals, is as strong as steel but 45% lighter, and super resistant to extreme heat and cold. Titanium naturally resists bacteria and mold and, unlike stainless steel, won’t ever rust. For all these reasons, titanium is the best material for sporks and cooking utensils in general. How Do You Clean a Titanium Spork? All right, i’ll be the one to say it. It they work for you, fine, but for me, sporks are up there with drilling holes through toothbrush handles in terms of silly incremental weight reduction while compromising function. The cost/benefit just isn’t there for me. 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. The SuperSafe™ Spork is a 2-in-1 combination spoon and fork. It is designed to be the perfect substitute to replace both a conventional spoon and fork.

Sporks are a really affordable piece of camping gear (Image credit: dancestrokes) Are there any disadvantages to using a spork? 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. 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.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. 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. 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 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. Available as: 1) SPORK - Combined Spoon/Fork 2) 'Knife' only (Now available) 3) 'Knife' and Spork Set

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? 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 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. Here are some of the features we recommend you consider before buying. These are also the guidelines we followed when testing them, MaterialYou don’t need anything special to clean a titanium spork; just some soap and water will be fine.

Analysis and Test Results

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.

Overall you can’t ask for much more out of a titanium spork, and surprisingly it is one of the best value options too. The SuperSafe™ Spork is simple, safer and easy to use. When your duty of care calls for a safer and sensible alternative to the potential dangers of metal, hard plastic or disposable cutlery, SuperSafe™ is the proven first choice for safety, reliability and economy. 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. 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.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. 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. 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.
