TOAKS Titanium 3-Piece Cutlery Set

The first set has been kicking around with me in one way or another for something like a decade. I also have the spork. We did a grand western national parks camping road trip in May, and the TOAKS utensils punched above their weight and were constantly in demand, so we picked up another set. Why do I like these? While spendy they are comparatively affordable for titanium. They clean up nicely. They are full-fledged utensils. Not double-ended. Not missing the handle. Not multi-purpose. Not plastic. Three separate people can be using this set simultaneously with full autonomy, at a picnic table, somewhere out there. They are dedicated camping/travel, so they can stay packed with the gear. The mini-biner is awesome for keeping everything together without getting in the way. Are they the world's greatest tools? Nah. I like my kitchen knives and silverware for that. But they're luxurious for the road.

Lovely titanium cutlery set. Super light, extremely well constructed, much like everything I've tried from Toaks. Having the polished bowls is especially nice; I've been using another vendor that comes in the standard bead-blasted titanium, which doesn't bother me; the polished finish is much better, especially for washing and ensuring it is clean. I use this when I pack hot lunches for the office. This set is slightly longer than other sets of portable silverware I've used, but also feels lighter in the hand. No issues with bindability, and a great shape for the spoon, especially. The included carabiner is a very nice touch - the other titanium set I've used for a while has a very beautiful brass screw holding it together, which is both a little fiddly, and easy to misplace since it breaks apart into two bits.

I wanted titanium utensils for everyday use since I developed a nickel allergy. Since this type of metal is a bit of a niche product, I also preferred a US company (seemingly more reliable or at least hopefully more accountable for their products) than one of the million random unkown ones selling on amazon. All of that is difficult enough to find but, additionally, I found polished titanium flatware isn't common, either. I tried the non-polished texture most camping titanium utensils have and it is very unpleasant --- doesn't seem that rough to the fingertips but eating from them is like licking peach fuzz or cat tongues :p These utensils are wonderfully light but strong. Also this thinner rounded handle shape is very comfortable vs the usual square edge shape that widens toward the top. For a wish list I hope someday this company branches out to make traditional 3D titanium utensils e..g., oneida style etc. and kitchenware like collanders and steamer baskets etc.

I bought this to replace a Sistema Us Inc 1917 Klip It Cutlery Set To Go set that I use for my lunchbox. The plastic set I had was nice and compact, but suffered from a few issues. The spoon was too shallow to use for soup, the knife didn't actually cut very well, and the blunted plastic on the fork didn't pierce into food well. This titanium set is very well constructed and very light compared to a set of cutlery from my kitchen drawer. The knife can be used to cut things where the plastic one I was using couldn't cut through meat. The spoon is deep enough to use to drink soup. The set is extremely lightweight and includes a carabiner to keep it all together. It is about the same weight as the set I had before but far more functional. The titanium is very resistant to rust and even though it can be bent with some force, you can bend it back. The only drawback to me would be the price, but I feel I'm getting a high quality product for what I paid. Buying boxes of disposable cutlery works, but those aren't as durable as titanium and after a year the cost of these would easily break even. This is over twice the price of the plastic Sistema set I have, but works better. During my lunch break, I want to relax and eat, not worry about whether my knife can cut through my food or struggling to drink soup with a shallow spoon.

Does what it says on the box lol. Lightweight titanium flatware that works as intended. No glaring issues after a few meals with these. The only thing I would point out is most people don't actually need overpriced titanium cutlery picking up a forkspoon of knife from your silverware drawer will suffice for 99% of the population - so ask yourself if you actually need these or just want to spend some money.

I purchased some TOAKS brand Titanium Cutlery sets and some TO-GO-WARE Bamboo Cutlery sets on Amazon. Each has some interesting advantages, but as I think you will see, the Bamboo spoon is nearly worthless and the Bamboo knife is an oddity that it hard to describe. The Toaks Titanium stuff is very traditional in form, well balanced in your hand, very functional, expensive, strong/stiff and yet amazingly lightweight and beautifully finished. Its about $18 per set for the 3 pieces. Not cheap. It weighs 1.7 ounces for the 3 piece set + the mini caribiner. There is NO case with this set and the mini-caribiner is almost too small to use. If you have fat fingers just throw the mini-caribiner away. If you have agile fingers then you can use it, for something??? As light as this set is, it feels good in the hand, the utinsels are roughly the same size and shape as the stuff in your kitchen drawer, and its strong. Titanium is stronger than steel, lighter than aluminum, doesn't rust. Pretty much the perfect material for the ultra-light hiker (other than the high cost). Close examination of the Toaks Titanium cutlery shows that this is a high quality set that a craftsman would appreciate using. Its finished very nicely with a brushed finish at the handles and a mirror polish at the use end. As long as we are talking about food, how about discussing some eating utensils? GEAR REVIEW: Bamboo ~vs~ Titanium Cutlery Since there are several of us going on this trip I figured that I'd buy some Christmas presents for some of the others who will be on the trip and it would give me the opportunity to compare different items. I purchased some TOAKS brand Titanium Cutlery sets and some Bamboo Cutlery sets.

TOAKS TITANIUM: This is the stuff I am keeping for me and for my wife. Its about $18 per set for the 3 pieces. Not cheap. It weighs 1.7 ounces for the 3 piece set + the mini caribiner.

The entire set, with the case, is 1.7 ounces. So same total weight but more parts. The set includes CHOPSTICKS, plus a CARRY CASE, plus a fork/knife/spoon and it even includes a lightweight small caribiner. Set cost was $11.55 from Amazon. Its supposed to be eco-friendly, even the little case is made of recycled materials. This stuff looks pretty good on the surface, and its supposed to stand up to repeated use/wash/use cycles. So compared to the Titanium stuff this is a bargain, more pieces and a lower price. But close examination of the spoon shows that this spoon has almost no capacity to actually scoop any liquid into your mouth! Oh it would work for a hearty stew, chili or chunky style soup but anything with a thin broth is going to be an exercise is futility to consume. Then there is the knife? No serrations and a curved blade? By curved I mean a SIDEWAYS curve! I dunno why? And not only does it lacks serrations but it also lacks a sharp edge. Sure, you can cut a stewed carrot or potato with it. Probably spread butter just fine and cut a muffin in half too, but don't go after that T-bone with this knife. The fork is a 3 tine fork and its probably fine for eating just about anything. All 3 of these main cutlery pieces feel pretty good in your hand and the chopsticks also appear to be very functional, even if a little bit shorter than some of the pairs we have in our kitchen. All 5 pieces have a very nice smooth finish to them, all have some sort of food safe sealer applied. I just don't see the knife or spoon as particularly useful, with the spoon being the worse of the two pieces. While the caribiner with the Toaks Titanium is tiny, it is high quality and will stand up to years of reasonable use, I'd say that the aluminum (?) caribiner that comes with the TO-GO-WARE Bamboo set is a novelty piece that is better discarded than carried. It might work for a couple days, maybe a couple weeks, but its pretty much junk. VERDICT: Between TO-GO-WARE Bamboo Cutlery and the Toaks Titanium Cutlery its the Toaks Titanium that is the easy choice, wreaks of quality and is actually useable . . . Unless you drive a Prius, then you'll buy the Bamboo stuff and show us how superior and eco-friendly you are while spilling your soup down your chin and gnawing your steak apart with your teeth because your knife can't cut meat . . . oh wait, you are probably a vegetarian if you buy the Bamboo stuff so cutting a steak is not an issue for you . . . but the soup spoon will dribble all over you! If I was a super-lightweight backpacker I'd probably take a SPORK and call it a day, but I'm willing to accept 1.7 ounces of Titanium in my backpack versus 0.6 ounces for just a SPORK.

These are far more convenient than plastic utensils because they're A) durable and B) just as compact/light. I put them in the front pocket of my backpack (they're rigid, but can bend if you put enough pressure on them). I've traveled with a full car and just leave these either in the backpack or the door space and they've done a great job when I need to eat on the go. I use them at home routinely. Only thing that could be improved is the small carabiner which sometimes slides out of the correct lock position, so be careful not to lose it.

My first foray into titanium for backpacking gear. I have resisted the trend on titanium cookware so far but a full set of well made cutlery seemed well worth the investment. I bought the TOAKS Titanium 3-Piece Cutlery Set to replace a heavy, stainless steel fork/spoon combo called the "Hungry Camper" and was not disappointed. I have used my Hungry Camper since the early 90's (so long that I originally ordered it via snail mail from an advertisement in the back of Backpacker Magazine . . . back in the days before the Web and e-commerce). I used to extol the virtues of the Hungry Camper to anyone who would listen but the TOAKS set has won me over. Oh the pleasure of being able to have both a fork and a knife in separate hands at the same time! And to have a real fork with real tines that can actually stab at food with precision! Anyway, I purchased the TOAKS set for a trip to the Bridger Wilderness in WY back in August and it served me well. It was lighter than my old Hungry Camper while providing significantly more utility. The fork, spoon, and knife are sufficiently strong and adequately stiff . . . bendable but not without really trying. I should note that my travel partner brought a cheap plastic backpacking spork and admitted at the end of the trip (after enough celebratory & medicinal beers) that he was envious of my TOAKS cutlery set (I might have him sent him a set for x-mas as a surprise). My only small complaint is with the tiny, D-ring carabiner that comes with the set. The carabiner works well at keeping the set together but its shape causes the individual pieces to bind a little on it when attached. Not a big deal but using an oval shape for the carabiner instead would eliminate the binding. Despite that little issue, I did find that keeping the set together made fishing them out from my cluttered bag a little easier. I had considered leaving the carabiner behind on the WY trip but was later glad that I didn't.

I like the light weight and quality materials, great value.

Bonne qualité mais couverts pas assez longs. Renvoyé

チタン製で軽く口に入る部分は鏡面仕上げなので口当たりも大変良いです。 チタンは金属臭が無く金属アレルギーの人でも心配なく使えるので重宝します。 ナイフが必要なければモンベルでもよかったのですが3点セットが欲しくこちらにしましたがとっても気に入っております。 付属のオレンジ色の巾着型ケースでは使い勝手が悪いので自作しました。 ケースに重ねて収納してますが接触部はどうしても擦り傷が付いてしまいます。

Sehr schönes Set gerade mit den polierten Oberflächen macht es das Essen sehr angenehm. Es gibt nichts dran auszusetzen

Muy ligeros pero delgados. Se sienten frágiles pero son muy resistentes. Lo único que no me agrado fue que los compré para acampar y es que hacen más bulto de lo que aparentan cuando los juntas
