Made from polycarbonate to avoid radar reflectance. Matt black to avoid giveaway glint at night. The perfect stealth camping gobbling rod..

It's an inferior spork, and yet I must have one...

Needs to be carbon fibre, designed in a wind tunnel to ease its food consumption.

That's not a spork, it's a double-ended blasphemy!

You can't use it on chunky stew because you'd have to flip ends all the time and get gravy all over your paws.

The knife-oid is only good for spreading because to use it to cut anything, you'd need to pin it on... the fork tines it shares! Gah!

It's the weirdest case for a while of a design horror that gains traction, and if they're stealthy, at least I won't have to see them around!

We have plastic and ti versions of that spork. They work remarkably well and are very easy to flip end-to-end in the hand.

plus they can begin to melt or change shape, if you have a highly efficient stove
My spork are now a fork with a weirdly shaped teaspoon handle.

Yeah, but with one of those, half a rear mech, a bike computer and some duct tape you could MacGyver a functional anemometer at the roadside.

Haven't you noticed that the "cutlery lust" thread now extends to 12 pages? Too right!

We appear to be a stealth offshoot of the British Blades forum...

Seems to me you're a bunch of snobs. I like the LMF design. It feels nice in the hand and in the mouth, and I used it to great effect to wolf down a can of rice pudding opened with a P-38 'in the field' yesterday. Yah-boo to you.

Each to their own: I have one that I got as a present, and after trying to use it, it's gone in my mathoms box.

I have two, one eating size, and one larger, cooking size. I used them for the first time this weekend, very successfully....

It works very nicely as a spoon, and is okayish as a fork. Not so good if you want to swap between the two for the same meal, though.

Being somewhat lefthanded, the LMF spork doesn't really do it for me. It's inside out, see?
