Broke my spork...

[Quixoticgeek]

Cleaning my eating things post meal, I managed to break my spork when wiping it clean.

I thought that these things were supposed to be indestructible... Anyone else had similar issues ?

Hi Mate,

had the exact this happen to mine, same spot and all and i bought mine here in Oz.

 

[Imagedude]

The old Swedish ones were good but someone decided that the plastic was toxic so they changed to a safer but weaker material.

 

[petrochemicals]

Yup, mine broke there too, they are weak. I broke one just throughpressing a pack with it in, the curvature lends itself to breakage.

For heaven's sake! Break out your knife and make something from durable, elastic, replacable wood.
That plakky thing is a nice pattern.
You want to eat tomorrow?
Do it.

Yup, same thing happened to me. Bought a Ti one.

One of the reasons I detest the plastic spork...

Same thing happened with one of mine, went over to the foldable ti stuff, easier to stow in my cooking pot too.

Cheers, Paul

The solution is:

...or other from steel or titanium...

Which is why you're given so many

Do yourself a favour...

Excellent gear!

Or these https://www.alpkit.com/products/snapwire-foon

Locks open and folds down very compact.

Alpkit also do a good range of knife, fork and spoon versions as well as the solid non-folding ones.

Or of course you could whittle one to your own design

Cheers, Paul

I bought some chinese copies of this from aliexpress for 50p each, small and works well


my sporks kept on breaking, i contacted lightmyfire and they sent me 2 free replacements

Get yourself a proper KFS, anything from the kitchen will outlast the spork any day.

Alpha Light do a good set in aluminium, and a long handled spoon too which is worth a look at.

Move over to a titanium spork ~ if only for the pure horror you can put into other folks lives

OR

the best KFS set I've found after minimal searching/testing is the Austrian army set. The knife is robably he best steak knife I've ever come across and also does well as a bread knife. The spoon is good. The fork is ... well it's a fork. Overall a very good bit of kit


Lots heavier than a placky or ti spork though

(First decent pic I found. Not to be taken as a seller recommendation. Having used their pic it's only fair to link to the source ~ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUSTRIAN-...camping-cutlery-fork-spoon-case-/361308360122 )

& can I just add the tin opener also works well. & it has tones of street cred!

I've just noticed in the picture of the one decorum posted the tin opener looks different to mine?

Found this amazing bargain for anyone interested in setting up a group buy for the Austrian army KFS set £20 for 10 sets....

[forrestdweller]

i only use my korean chopsticks and steel spoon- i doubt they'll ever break! no forks/sporks for me as i cannot eat (comfortable) with the darn things...

(if weight is an issue i'd suggest a pair of wooden chopsticks and a titanium spoon)

 

[Goatboy]

Shame about your Spork but may I suggest a more elegant solution for a more civilised person?

And if you manage to break one you just quickly whittle another.

Bit messy with soup though GB.
