Go for the lifeventure titanium spork. Lurch has them for not very much, I bought one when I was heading south a few weeks back. It's single ended though and has a little spring clip at the top.

I have broken every plastic spork I have owned - rubbish items IMHO - Ti is just wrong for Bushcraft...just carve one!
And - yes - I have a folding Ti Spork ...foisted on me as a prezzie...as were the folding plastic one and a commercial bamboo one... all thanks to Mesquite who is a win p merchant beyond belief!
I have also carved several which are tons better, but normaly I just use my carved spoons an a knife!

Al my sporks have a max of 3 prongs,

ones a Spoothpick/toothpoon ( spoon and toothpick)

one is a Spife ( no prongs)

True to the name, I think they are better for lighting my fires than sporking with.

Sporks are crap, end of, take a spoon and fork. If you really must eat off a babies early learning tool, Tesco are selling plastic sporks for a quid.

Ged, admitting to using one has lost you a lot of credibility in my eyes...extremely disappointed in you and hope its a passing phase or perhaps you had a 'Senior Moment' when you got it :(

In the woods if possible.
Well I've had a lot of fun reading this, all of you, thanks! But there is just one nasty rumour that I have to deal with...

I didn't say I was USING it, I'd never admit to a thing like that, I said I was WASHING it. The wife bought it, she thought it was a good idea at the time. :yikes:

The LMF Ti sporks are ok, but they can be a bit hard on non-stick coatings. They're also heavier than the plastic ones (17g v 9g) so if you see a gram-weenie with one you can be sure he's posing. :)
