Titanium Light My Fire Spork,
Light My Fire’s sporks are the best designed of any sporks that I’ve ever used. I actually like them for picnic meals and brown bag lunches. One end is a combination fork and mini place knife and the opposite end is a useful spoon. This spork design is comfortable to use whether you are eating soup or cake. The only thing missing is a hole or clip to make it easy to attach to your bag or pack, but it may work with some clips if they are used in the narrow middle of the spork.
Titanium spork weighs little, but is strong. Color and finish are flat and dull. It looks to be a greenish color easy to lose in the wild for it would blend in on a camo background. Looks like an excellent color for anyone seeking a neutral color. Also good for folks that like metal flatware. This titanium spork is sized for individual use.
It is not magnetic, I know titanium is not magnetic, but last titanium item I acquired only had a titanium finish. This spork appears to be solid titanium so none sparking and not magnetic making it safe to use in some otherwise hazardous environments.

|A Utensil Too Far,
Light My Fire has produced arguably the best spork, fork-spoon combination, ever made; unfortunately, they were not satisfied with this and insisted on trying to make it a knife as well. This was a bad idea for three reasons. First, the smooth side of a fork is good enough for “soft” cutting. Second, the serrations are neither long enough nor sharp enough to be much good as a knife, but they are sharp enough to damage the mouth if the wielder is careless. Third, for any serious cutting you’d need a separate knife and fork anyway. All in all it would be a much better product without the poor attempt at a knife.
However, other than this minor design flaw, it is a wonder: a genuinely useful spoon paired with a more than adequate fork in an ergonomic design, made of virtually indestructible titanium. Of course making the other utensil the handle of the one you are using will present difficulties if you need to switch back and forth without being able to clean it first. The only other nit worth picking is that the sunken lettering of the logo on the top of the handle is an annoying dirt catcher, a defining case of “too much information”.
Still, for the purpose of substituting a single utensil for two, either in the great outdoors or the cubicle jungle, it cannot be beat!
Note: These items are also available in Teflon-friendly, heat resistant polycarbonate, individually: Light My Fire Spork and in 4-packs: Light My Fire Spork 4-Pack, and there is a slightly larger model for the “large handed” (or the “large stomached”): Light My Fire Spork XM and an even larger Serving Spork: Light My Fire Serving Spork for the main dish (or for real NFL players sporking Campbell’s Chunky Fully Loaded out of the Black Cans).

|It’s just a spork…,
I came across the “Light My Fire” series of camping products when I was in the modern design museum in Copenhagen. I couldn’t help myself, I had to buy the Light My Fire Outdoor MealKit and a few extra forks. I really loved using the plastic spork for lunches at work so I decided to buy the titanium version. When it arrived I was pleased by it’s strength, it’s really clear it will last longer than the plastic version. I was disappointed, though, with the texture in the middle of the spork. From the photo on Amazon it looks like it’s nicely textured metal but, in reality, it’s some sort of rubberized paint. This gives the spork a slightly cheap feeling, not something you want for a $13 utensil. It also has a rather matte finish that almost looks antique rather than the shiny finish it has in the photo. Compared to the plastic version the knife component is much less sharp and not very useful for cutting. But that doesn’t really bother me since I’d rather not have anything particularly sharp next to my lip. Anyway, my chief complaint is really the price. Given the issues I have with the spork I would be thrilled with the purchase if it was $5-8 but not at $13. Other than price, a great purchase to use on a camping trips or to reduce the number of disposable utensils used in daily life.
