never left any of the LMF plastic ones in the pot when cooking (gets used and then back in pocket for brewups and food stealin') and they have all went at the same place. I think its more of a weakspot in the design / choice of plastic rather than user abuse Goatboy imho.

However now I have a Ti one I should have no further problems and because its Ti it should make me lose 5st, be better in bed and my life should improve immeasurably ;) - failing that at least it wont melt :D

Cool Verloc,
Was just an idea as to why they may go in the same place, never busted one, neither have any mates.
They are good though and cheap as chips.

I have a plastic one and a folding titanium number!

Both are good for different reasons!

My youngest in fact, would only eat from the plastic one for quite some time!

I think I'll be getting a plastic or titanium light my fire spork soon, I wanted a Case hobo knife but I figure a spork will do the same stuff for about $60 less!

I have a titanium folding spork that fits in my billy can and hobo stove i use when on solo trips.
However if theres a few of us or its a prolonged stay then i ponce it up a bit and use a cool bag/cutelry set the same as the pic below

I have a titanium one, and it's ace for eating rations. Doesn't break or bend, is strong enough to be used as a blunt knife if necessary (for meat, potatoes, etc) and is as light as anything.

Had a well known Plastic spork, it broke whilst it was in my bag before I even got to use it!...not good enough IMHO!
Titanium....that's for the ultra lightweight freaks, no need to have something that ultra-strong or ultra-light for cooking.

and it's easy to loose or drop.

I have 2 large 1 t-spoons made by Lexan they've lasted years in all sorts of conditions, and I have no reason to believe they'll last for years more!

but...if your after a gadget...
I'd love one of these!!
It was an idea that could be added to US army rations to provide an eating utensil, toothbrush, and razor!

It never got past design stage as far as I know, but an excellent Idea!
Heres the link:
http://www.combatreform.org/spork.htm

they were also looking for a soap that could be used as toothpaste...which surprisingly does exist!
"Dr. Bronner's 18-in-1 Castille Soap" aparently is fine to use on teeth and as a normal soap!

In my mind, it would need interchangeable tooth brush heads to be of any real use, but even if that was the case, I don't want to brush my teeth with a brush head I have held in my filthy hands

I don't see any justification for "forking" out on a titanium spork, I just have a plastic one. In case it breaks on me I have a second plastic one. But I do own a titanium KFS set, £22 that was, absolute ripoff.

I like titanium for cutlery and cups. It doesn't get warm as steel or alu does, and it's much more sturdy than plastic. Besides, eating with plastic utensils just won't happen in my camp (yup, I'm usually alone)..
