User Reviews
I found this to be a nice and serviceable product. I personally prefer a fork and spoon rather than just carrying a spoon as some u. lers do. So I thought I'd try this combo. Both the fork and spoon are serviceable for whatever you use them for.
But the small serrated portion is useless for anything other than a back-scratcher.

Overview:
The LMF (Light My Fire) Spork is made of heat resistant plastic, has a spoon head on one end and a fork on the other and the fork end has a serrated cutting edge.
My general assessment is that the LMF Spork is a convenient and acceptable quality plastic eating utensil for backpacking use.

I only gave it half a star because it is weak and fits weird in hand. I broke two of these on the same trip. I had to go back to my titanium spoon. I am still looking for another lexan or plastic solution.

At first I thought this was the perfect utensil. Seemed very sturdy and light — an all-in-one device ready for backpacking. Unfortunately, the first time I tried to use it on a trip it broke in half (clean break too) while trying to eat some cooked ramen out of a freezer bag in 60 degree weather. Still, not bad for the price, but just like pairs of socks - take 2.

Pros: It's a spork!
Cons: It's a spork!
Seriously though, what else can be said for an idea that is tried and true. Spoon for soups and chili and the fork side for noodles and such. Sometimes you're using your spoon and realize you need your fork.

Flimsy and weak. Mine only lasted a few months before it broke in half. On the plus side it's cheap and lite.

I really like it. Sure it's not fine silverware, but it works and it is lightweight. I took it on a 1-week scout camping trip as a backup to my lexan knife, fork, and spoon. I ended up using the Spork every day because it was easier to carry in my pocket, always ready to eat, instead of getting the knife and fork from my tent.

WE LOVE IT!!! My husband and I pack our spork everyday in our lunches; if it is to eat our yogurt overs it is always in our bag! Also great for our camping trips. Price is right, lightweight and durable. However, not the best cutter.

Very lovely design. My girl and I were so much fascinated but I haven't felt free using them since I broke the first one I bought several years ago. Plastic is not at all durable. So I had another titanium one ever since.

The light my fire spork works great as a utensil for eating but don't try and cook with it. It will melt if you try and use it for flipping your backcountry pancakes.

This thing is the bomb. Four colors for everyone in the family. Light as a feather. Tough to break. I would buy it again.

Very useful.
The only complaint is if you need to actually cut something with it you need two: one to hold the food and one to cut.
It's a spork. It's what you get for two dollars. I used to stop by Wendy's to grab free utensils. This is better.

Not very practical. Very lightweight. The fork part isn't very deep and won't stab deep into food. It fits odd in the hand too. It has kind of a knife part to it that doesn't make sense seeing as though you'd need a fork to hold food down while you cut it.

This is a handy must-have for the trail or any trip where grub's gonna be! Made of lightweight polycarbonate material, this spoon and fork combo weighs 0. 35 ounces and has a length of 6. 7 inches. It's heat resistant material which means no getting soft when stirring a boiling pot.

I love this little utensil. The size is perfect for backpacking and any other use away from home. I have used this thing at all-weekend conferences and everywhere in between.
