That has been my experience as well. I found them to be lacking in either department and got to the point whereI just went with spoons though I have now decided to carry sets.

However, if I were going with a spork, I'd probably favor the Light My Fire titanium mentioned above since it has one utensil at each end and may be able to function properly for both.

I have the long handled titanium (ice cream) spoon for MRE's, and a giant super spork like "be prepared" linked to above, for stirring pots and handling the 3 jobs in one, plus 2 each (my bop and wife's bop) of the smaller light my fire super sporks for eating out of bowls individually. Combined weight, <8 oz for all utensils. Virtually indestructable.

And I tend to shovel when I eat anyway, so volume is irrelevant, just a plow is all I need!

Who makes it?

They go back further than that... At least from before 1900.
They were called ice cream forks, and were often included in the large complete silverware sets that came in fitted cases that were so popular until the last quarter of the 20th century.
Have you ever tried to eat HARD ice cream with a spoon? It tends to shoot out from under a normal spoon. A Grapefruit spoon is somewhat better, but still does not hold the ice cream completely under the spoon... But a spork works perfectly for the job... I have old 'general knowledge' books that show them in silverware sets.

P.S. I wish they would still write 'general knowledge' books. They were so useful...

Interesting factoid...

Yeti, they have a sea to summit version in aluminum at REI, $7.95-

Like mentioned, not a volume spec'd item, but if you're tilting and shoveling anyway, who cares, eh?
