Anybody have one of these or something similar? For those hungry times when you refuse to eat with your hands, perhaps. Thinking of getting one for my anticipated EDC bag. Things I find cool are the price (:D), the salt and pepper shakers, and stainless knife and fork. Compared to plastic utensils, it's no contest.

I have one that I've used in the past in my lunchbag for work. Never thought of using it in a bob.

One thing I will point out is that the spoon is useless. Its too small for anything productive. I eat soup often and find it impossible to grab even a small quantity of liquid with it.

The salt and pepper shakers are VERY small as well. It would give you possibly 2 days of meager use before emptying.

That stuff said, the fork and knife are of good quality and I had no complaints about them.

I've since abandoned the pack for a multiuse titanium spork. I always have a knife on me so I'm not losing anything in the trade. Spices have their place, but at work they are readily available and I also have a good amount in my bob.

Just my .02
 
Have to agree with the above post. Took mine hiking and the fork and knife work ok but the spoon is useless, much too small to eat anything with...must be for condiments or something. I've been thinking about getting a Case Hobo w/spoon or maybe a Richartz Picnic. Never used the salt/pepper shaker.
 
That's 2 cons against no pros. Having made recommendations, where can I get one of those titanium sporks?
 
The price isn't that high, I thought all along that it'd be a bit expensive! Thanks for the link! :D :D
 
I've carried these. They aren't bad to have as lenders. We take them on picnics.

I too have found the Ti spork to do more.

I also carry a couple sets of chopsticks. They come in very handy.
 
I purchased my Boker set years ago (1981?) in Los Angeles at the Sharper Image when it first opened. Mine is made in Germany. The knife has a rounded tip. I have noticed the sets sold within the last few years are made in South America (Argentina?), and the knive's tip comes to a point.
 
I find a bamboo spoon works best, if you can find one in normal dining size and not thge large cooking-over- a pot kind.

It won't melt when cooking at camp (like plastic) and doesn't burn your lip when hot (like metal).

Second place on my list are thick lexan spoons. Just don't rest it near the stove or pot.

Both are light weight and hard to break.

BTW Aluminium is lighter than TI and TI is lighter that steel.

Spoon and a knife; All you need to eat a meal. I find opinels work great but tac folders will do;)
