What sporks wish they could be!

When I started this thread I was of the opinion that a Ti spork was an extravagance, But know I'm thinking I will get one - Rough up one edge to use with my ferroricium rod and grind a decent edge on one bit as a back up knife, serration or not..........................................................................................................................................................................................................

I wouldn't have thought of getting one if it wasn't for this thread.

I quite like it.

I don't understand why some people have something against titanium, as light as plastic
and as strong as steel. What's the problem with that?

Yes, it's more expensive than a plastic one or a steel one, but everything is relative. If you
earn £100 a week it's expensive, if you earn £100 an hour, it's not.

A ti spork is the same as two pints of lager (no crisps) and lasts a *lot* longer

If I earned £100 an hour, I'd probably have a Titanium car !

If only the DeLorean was available in Titanium, and a better engine, and cheaper servicing on the Flux Capacitor, etc....

And maybe better off road capability.... found this;

Boy - Oh - Boy!

Seeing that gorgeous car took me back to Saturday morning pictures, Flash Gordon, Stingray etc!

Actually, I was joking when I posted the Ford, I noticed the name on the tailgate of one in front of me in traffic, made me laugh, I doubt that there's a piece of titanium in the whole car (apart from the Spork in the glove box!).

A wooden spoon. Usually birch. Good for cooking and eating, any cutting is done with the usual knife. If someone is evil enough to serve spagetti or other non-spoonable foods I can have a pair of chopsticks ready in 30 seconds. Or eat with my fingers.

 

[forestwalker]

For chopsticks there is of course only one choice: http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/kitchen/8ccd/. Almost as silly as one can get (spring loaded titanium would be one better).

BTW "tactical spork"... When will Cold Steel make a "Spetsnaz Throwing Spork"? Once that is on the market I'll start up my business selling tactical underwear. Early retirement, here I come!

Definately a silly price. Alpkit's version is alot cheaper, http://www.alpkit.com/shop/cart.php?target=product&product_id=16303&category_id=283 .

Sapper - I have the perfect Spork for you - await the next meet .........

It's not a problem I can give them up anytime I like...

Soup? thats just stew waiting for the meat, veg and dumplings isn't it?

I started making a horn spoon about 15 years back and when I finally get the blank heated up and form the bowl I've a horrible feeling it will end up as a spork.

Sporks were trendy in the late 60's and 70's for home buffet parties, mom used them when we had people round for drinks. Anyone remember the equally silly food tray with a fancy grip on the edge and thumb hole? Colour matched with the sporks?

Tom, you need help my friend

 

[John Fenna]

Why have your teaspoons got bits missing off the front edge?
I love the folding grease trap ideas though!- a great way to ensure that sloppy washing up is rewarded with a go of the trots!

 

[tombear]

Truth be said I'm never so eager that I stick it into the gloop further than the bowl so they ain't anymore difficult to clean than a normal spoon and fit neatly inside a mug, which was the reason for aquiring. For stiring I use a plaki spatula or a stick.

The alpkit one is a brillant chip fork so lives in my bum bag.

The third from the right is extremely light but its literally pointless so is a waste of space, It was nice and shiny in the advert.

The giant LMF I got with the vague intention of using as a serving spoon/fork but I haven't used it yet.

It's cheaper than therapy, just ;-{D)

From Tom's eminently practical collection of Sporks.................. To this!

 

[John Fenna]

Where is the hand-carved one - a must for all REAL bushy-boys.....
