I hear what you say, but there is a another option, a simple household fork . . or a spoon or both, costing pennies or nothing! (or John Fennas lovely carved wooden creation)
If youre a die-hard ultralighter, then the grammes saved might be worth paying the high prices, but when i read recommended kit posts, weight never seems to be of any real importance. Everybody recommends sabre rucksacks, but they easily weigh 2lb more than a golite. But mention a titanium spork, or a snow peak 50 quid mug, and suddenly titaniums worth the silly money cos it saves 50 grammes. Its like eating four big macs and then insisting on drinking a diet coke cos youre on a diet, except in this case, the diet coke costs 10 times the price.
