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

I also have the smaller microbites version.

You've never eaten soup with a Japanese person then. :eek: 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.

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....

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........

This is why people stress the importance of good cordage, providing you've got that she can at least climb down into the container and get it back.

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.
