Did a camping trip. I have no problem washing or reusing '1' spoon as opposed to having 1 plastic spoon for cocoa, coffee, sugar, etc.

I heard that the spoons Wendys give you are lightweight. What do you all have that is "lightweight" but "SOLID"? I've seen many products now.

I like the polycarbonate (Lexan) products. I've tried several free ustensils you get in restaurants, several sporks (spoon+fork combo) but at the end of the day, I much prefer a seperate knife, spoon and fork.

Here's what I use, the GSI Thrive set :

Lexan or Ti

I had a "Hobo Tool" produced by Ozark Trail (Walmart Brand), but after a few trips I ended up finding that it was not for me. I felt it was too heavy and although it folded, it was ridiculously thick and essentially saved no space because both the fork and spoon were full-size and just as curved as you'd find in real silverware. While it was a nice design element to have the spoon and knife separate from the fork an bottle opener and fold out to full size utensils, this setup left a lot of crevices that were nearly impossible to clean. I also don't need a corkscrew while I'm camping. It was, however, built extremely well, and held up to quite a bit of abuse.

I currently have a "Light My Fire Super Spork". I like the design, it's light, the utensils are useful, and it seems durable. However, every tool meant to do every thing seems to have drawbacks, and with this on its the "knife" edge, which is really a serrated fork tine. I found it rubs a raw spot on the corner of my mouth unless I close my teeth instead of my lips to scrape the food off of the fork. I might sand the serrations off if possible. I think I'd also like to have a separate spoon and fork.

A regular old spoon and fork with holes drilled in the handles to save on weight will be my next trial.

As for a knife... Yeah, it's probably disgusting to a lot of people, but more often than not I use whatever knife is hanging off my belt, whether it be my Aito Puukko, SOG Seal Pup Elite, or other knife. Even when I'm cooking or eating.

snowpeak titanium spork. was a gift... took a bit of getting used to, but it's practically weightless and won't rust.

rei has a cheaper by $1.00 model.

good luck.

I bought a few of the Light my Fire's "The Spork" at walmart. I have used the small knife, fork, spoon set on a key ring and also the lexan ones they sell at Gander Mt, but I have decided on the light my fire spork.

I used an old USGI mess kit spoon for years, finally retired it for lexan, which I used to this day...
