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

Product Information

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. 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.

Sporks are a really affordable piece of camping gear (Image credit: dancestrokes) Are there any disadvantages to using a spork?

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. 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. Overall you can’t ask for much more out of a titanium spork, and surprisingly it is one of the best value options too.

This model is a utilitarian, familiar, and practically indestructible on the go utensil, earning it our favor over all othersSomewhere, 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 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. 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.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.

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.
