These are good, I've been using them for a few years now with no issues.

You've never eaten soup with a Japanese person then. :o Or you could just use your mug.

i find it less messy then with a spoon- here in japan (and korea) you hold the soup bowl in one hand, chopsticks in the other- you use the chopsticks for the big(ger) pieces and drink the liquid :cool:


Hahaha, I know. I spent some time in Japan back in '88' '89'.

Broke my placky spork when squeezing a teabag against the side of my mug ages ago.
Then helped a mate calibrate her rally computer thing for a rally in Africa and by way of thanks she kindly bought me a titanium one instead.

Its been living in the van and got regular use since then, weight isn't an issue but its a good size and shape and I've not seen one better.
 
Titanium sporks are great, till your wife mistakenly chucks them out with a nice little tanto and the post lunch rubbish into a BIG DEEP rubbish container on a Pyrenean campsite........
 
I think I may struggle eating my dinner with priceless Cartoons by Leonardo! - I have found that when you wash them they turn to pulp and the museum I borrowed them from got a bit huffy....

And depending on what Da Vinci used to whiten his paper back then, it could significantly spoil the taste of your food John! :p
 
An update:

I wrote to Light My Fire asking if this was a known issue or just a random occurrence. I got a nice email back asking for my address and preferred colour as they would like to send me a replacement spork.

Today a package arrived in the post from Sweden. In side was a small card, a purple spork... and a blue spork and a spork case. Once again I have a purple spork to eat my lunch with in the woods. Great service from Light My Fire.

If I knew how to post photos I'd show you the latest in a long line of wooden sporks I have carved myself with a craftsman made knife which I acquired through barter. I do so love to eat food I have grown and cooked myself with a spoon I made out of a bowl which I have also made.

I'm willing to bet I'm not alone in this among visitors to this site. We do aspire to be bushcrafters, not consumers of a plastic, shop-bought throwaway culture.
