TOAKS Titanium Spork

I decided to try this spork in an effort to reduce my pack weight for backpacking. Having used it several times now, I am sold. The TOAKS spork functions very well and feels like you're eating with a normal utensil, not a specialty utensil that's awkward. It is also quite strong and weighs almost nothing. The tines work well for picking up food in fork mode, though retention on any spork isn't quite as good as a real fork. I have no problems stabbing myself with the tines while eating, as you can do on some sporks. I prefer this to plastic sporks (Light My Fire, etc), because barring some heroic effort, you're not going to break this one. The length is also good and the metal is very well finished. I also enjoy the simplicity of packing only one eating utensil on any trip.I recently got a chance to compare this spork to the Snow Peak titanium spork. Overall, both are good utensils. The spoon is slightly larger on the Snow Peak, and the tines are a little longer and more prominent. Advantage, Snow Peak. But, the Toaks spork has a larger handle that is textured, which improves grip and feels better in the hand. Advantage, Toaks. (See the photo I uploaded). Both seem very strong, so it really comes down to personal choice. After having used both, I still prefer the Toaks spork. It comes pretty close to spork perfection. Five stars, recommended.

Really like this spoon. Perfect size for 750ml cup. First time buying titanium gear and the weight savings is great. Quality is excellent.

Update:It DOES leave marks/scratches on glass. We didn't notice it until there started being more and more of them. I should also note that the scratches/marks left on the Corelle plates and cups sparked in the microwave.Toaks makes a great spork! It's comfortable to hold and sturdy, yet lightweight. I measured it against my Oneida teaspoons and they're the same size until the start of the spork's tines. With this length you get a fully functional spoon and short tines to jab non liquid food with. It's not the best with pasta noodles because you can't fit a lot on there and wrap it like you would with a regular fork, but it's 100 times easier to clean the spork's tines.Side note to people just intending to use it in the household; titanium leaves marks on porcelain so if you use it with porcelain plates, such as Corelle, or other dishes that are glazed, it leaves dark grey streaks where the titanium dragged across the plate. These can be removed using Bar Keepers Friend or another abrasive cleaner. BKF works the best though. It didn't leave marks on stainless steel or glass dishes.

Perfect for traveling. Durable and lightweight

Good for scoopable meals. The spoon is light and durable. The spoon part holds a little less than a regular spoon because of the tines. The fork park stabs less well than a fork because of the spoon. But if you want to carry just one thing, it will do. It is 6-3/4ths inches long, so it's long like real silverware. The spoon head is 1-1/2 inches wide and 2 inches long. The handle is straight. If you need short and stubby, look to other stuff.Attatched in a pick of my bunch of titanium forks. From left to right is Vargo, Toaks, Light My Fire, and two Snow Peaks.Overall the ones with the main shape (true Sporks) are basically interchangable. The difference is in the handle shapes. The Snow Peak has the biggest scoop area, but only by slightly. I don't believe that it would have any functional difference. The feel of the thicker handles is a little better, but again, it's only a minor difference. So it's basically a 4-way tie just about with those. They are all long, light, and feel similar to regular silverware.The Light My Fire two-sided spoon and fork combo is different. It has a true spoon and a true fork on each end, and a minimally serrated edge. That gives you more spoon area and more fork area which is quite useful. But, you sacrifice useable reach as you have to grasp it differently, and it has a different feel than typical silverware due to the shape.Overall, pick what you like, they are all good and comparable.

What an awesome eating utensil! All in one, you will not need another.The TOAKS Titanium Spork is not only the most comfortable, great at handling your food, good looking, but also one of the lesser priced titanium sporks on the market. Within one use on the trail it has replace all my other utensils (like that crappy short eat n tool where the food gets all over your dirty hands). The other ones with the fork at the butt is annoying as well to be jabbed in the hand while you are eating!The depth of the spoon is perfect for shoveling plenty of food in your eat hole after a long day. The handle has some grip to it.. and the fork can pick up food no problem! I got mine pretty hot one day when holding a container over the gas, now it has some rainbow color to the end adding character! (see pic, along side my favorite knife)This is where it's at, buy. You will not be disappointed! I have never said this on anything else, but this should get 6 STARS!EDIT: I went to grab a fork but then saw this sitting in my drawer, long story short I ate my thanksgiving meal with it!!Please give me a YES if this review was helpful in your search!
