This colourful set of reusable bio-plastic eating utensils come in a fully eco-friendly paper bag packaging that is stapled shut. The set of cutlery is tied together with some twine to avoid them coming loose during delivery. Thankfully this isn't actually a ‘spork’ as they are basically useless in my opinion and I much prefer this setup of having the fork and spoon distinctly separate. The knife saw edge on the fork isn’t the greatest but it's fine in a pinch but you’ll find you need to use two of these to hold the food still on a plate.
As for the usefulness of this in a camping trip I can't help but feel like they’ve skimped on the thickness of the utensils a little and am quite concerned that they will snap after a while if you don't baby them, they don't feel nearly as rugged as the camping cutlery i’ve used in the past. But they are certainly a massive step up from the disposable crap you get from takeaways and such.
In a world where you can pick up a full metal set of camping cutlery for not much more than these I don't know if these are the best choice personally. A well cared for metal set will last a literal lifetime and won't be nearly as bendy. I have a metal set from my days in the scouts nearly 15 years ago still going strong. The environmentally friendly message doesn’t hold much credit if you have to repurchase or replace these. Light My Fire sells a titanium version which I personally recommend over these. If you need the lightest cutlery for a hiking trip these are a decent choice in that regard at only 11grams each.
As of now I haven’t had any issues with them but you can take a look at the many reviews on the other versions of these bio-sporks and see that they seem quite fragile. But if you are set on buying the bioplastic version and the bulk price puts you off, they do sell smaller multi-packs on their store page. I haven’t removed any stars for this concern yet until I have an issue at which point I'll give an update.
The 11-pack gives you plenty to keep stashed away in the car, at work/school etc, and practically anywhere else you may need to eat or prepare food. All 11 sporks are cleanly moulded and have no uncomfortable edges or sharp spots.They are all nicely coloured and look fantastic in a range of colours. As cutlery they work well enough for a typical 3-in-1 design. At £3.18 per spork they are pretty pricey in my opinion, but they are made in Sweden and are from a well known company, so you will pay a premium for any of their products.
