Sports reviews of Light My Fire Spork

Customer Review: Love for the spork...
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

I love these sporks! I picked up a few at the Outdoor Gear Exchange the last time I was in VT. I gifted most of them out to family & friends and somehow managed to lose mine. Decided to check out what Amazon had to offer and ordered up a few for myself and family. I keep one in my car (my parents do the same), one in my office and one at home.

My only dislike is that the knife is somewhat useless if what you are cutting isn't tender. However, I have used it to cut through oversized pieces of pasta with no problems.

I love these sporks. They're fun to include in a gift (campers, college students, etc.) and always raise a few eyebrows.

Customer Review: Functional Design, Flimsy
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

This spork is inexpensive, lightweight, has the added benefit of a small knife on the side, and comes in an array of funky colors. It's basically comfortable to use, and it's "quiet" if you're eating from a stainless steel or titanium dish.

A couple reviewers mentioned hurting their mouth on the serrated knife. Perhaps I have a big mouth :), but for some reason this has never happened to me. I do, however, find the utensil flimsy. It takes very little pressure to significantly bend the shaft, and though I haven't yet broken a tine, I get the feeling that I will... soon... and it's still pretty new.

I like this for my lunch sack at work and I bought a second one to keep in my vehicle's glove compartment. For camping, I prefer a heavier, but far more durable, stainless steel spork.

Well, it happened. While eating ice cream tonight, my spork snapped in two, right in the middle. Won't waste my money on another one of these. If you choose this type, be sure to treat it gently.

Customer Review: Semi-disposable
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

I bought one of these to leave at work. I didn't use it much but it was great for yogurt and soup. One day I tried it on a burrito and even though I didn't put much pressure on it just as others have reported it cracked in half. It is light, but I wouldn't want to backpack with it because there is too much chance of it breaking before the trip is over. I ordered the titanium version (sold here on Amazon) and it seems a lot stronger but I haven't really used it yet.

Customer Review: it's a three dollar "spork"... and not necessary
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

i bought it clearance and used it backpacking for two weeks and really, all i needed was a spoon. the fork/fake knife combo might've been helpful if a) i had ever needed it and b) it didn't get in the way while trying to eat using the spoon side. it's nice that it's light, but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a good utensil. there's no need for another fancy marketable product, just use what you already have. there's a reason it works.
