Great to Go by Huhtamaki 165 mm Wooden Cutlery Set

An ultralight wooden knife and fork intended for single use but worth hanging on to for multiple adventures.   You get what you pay for... (Continuing my tradition of reviewing backcountry cutlery on Trailspace -- see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) On our recent hike of Sweden’s Kungsleden, we planned to buy pasta along the way from the rather limited stores at small huts rather than carry it from the start of each stage, with the possibility that the only pasta available would be spaghetti. The thing about… Full review

Jetboil JetSet Utensil Kit

Bought a set of these as it seemed like a good answer to having utensils while backpacking. I would not buy them again as they do not lock properly. Extremely annoying when trying to stab something with the fork and fork collapses. I have to jam something in the mechanism to keep it locked.  Full review

Opinel Picnic+

A handy multi-use tool that stores away easily and compactly. The knife is sharp, and the spoon and fork utensils are highly functional. It’s nice to have a quality napkin on hand too. Testing Conditions:  I’ve used the Opinel Picnic+ cutlery set for a few months now. I began using it in the field for eating lunch when hunting but I transitioned to using it in the office for daily lunches at work as well. I’ve used the fork and spoon (daily) much more than the knife (once or twice a week). Full review

Outlery Full Set

Elegant eating utensils in a pocket size box. Intended to displace single use plastics, Outlery can also add a little elegance to outdoor meals in a variety of settings but is too heavy for extended backpack trips. The box   In the box Judging by my review history, I seem to have an inordinate fondness for spoons, or maybe outdoor cutlery in general. The internet in its infinite acquisitive wisdom seems to know about this, and so channeled an ad for Outlery portable cutlery in my general direction. Full review

MSR Alpine Utensils Spatula

The end of the spatula melted the first time I cooked with it. Bacon and eggs for two in a stainless steel frying pan, nothing extreme.       Full review

Funktion plastic cheese slicer

A lightweight, plastic, Scandinavian-style cheese slicer for the trail. Makes no-mess-no-fuss, thin cheese slices for a cracker snack, sandwich, or burrito. Worth way more than its weight in cheese slices.   Scandinavian simplicity The humble one-piece cheese slicer is baked into the Scandinavian way of life. In Norwegian it’s called an ostehøvel which translates literally as “cheese plane,” which sounds cool so I’ll use that from now on.  The cheese plane was invented in 1925 by Norwegian… Full review

Light My Fire Spork Original

It's a cheap, plastic spoon, fork, and knife. Good design from a durable, food-grade plastic. I had never owned a spork—or anything similar. REI wanted just over a dollar...so I gave in, to curiosity. I never really understood why I needed special cutlery, for camping. I was once gifted an ancient, ex-army set—knife, fork, and spoon—made of aluminium and fitting together, but I've never put them/it in a backpack. I usually use a spoon, for everything but cutting and preferably one which fits… Full review

Toaks Titanium Long Handle Spoon with Polished Bowl

The best utensil I've ever used for freeze-dried meals. Right. So, Toaks versus Sea to Summit Alphalight. Both are extremely lightweight. Effectively the same length. Practically the same cost.  The differences, though minor, are in fact major.  Toaks is titanium, whereas StS is aluminum. Titanium is tougher than aluminum; aluminum will bend where titanium won't. Now, titanium can *break*, but so can aluminum once it has been bent a few times. So that's something of a wash. A difference, yes,… Full review

TiTo Titanium Long Handle Spork

I love this product. It is light, tough, and easy to clean, but most importantly it is the perfect length for reaching those last desperate morsels in the corners of your dehydrated food packet.  Full review
