 Spork (Spoon-Fork-Knife Combo) - Green By: The Doors Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 1 More Information A Utensil Too Far  On: 2008-02-26Light 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 youd 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 Teflon-friendly, heat resistant polycarbonate. 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 and the raised lettering of the abbreviation for polycarbonate on the bottom of the handle are both annoying dirt catchers, 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 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 Campbells Chunky Fully Loaded out of the Black Cans). |
