5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it, March 23, 2009

Lightweight, nice size. As mentioned the clip isn't spring loaded but no big deal. Another poster incorrectly stated this is a half-fork, half-spoon. That would be a foon which is just ridiculous. This is genuine spork: half-spoon, half-fork.

This review is from: Brunton, My-Ti Spork, silver (Sports)

I bought this spork after shopping around on Amazon and looking at many of the other choices. I finally decided on this particular one due to the relatively high number of positive reviews and the fact that it also includes a bottle opener in the handle. I have not used it yet, nor do I know if I ever will, but that was my reasoning none-the-less. Mostly I just like gadgets, and this definitely qualifies.

Rather than go into great detail (this is a relatively simple item, after all) I'll just list a few pros and cons that I have come up with in the past couple of weeks while I have been using this spork almost daily (eating lunch at work).

Pros:
* Extremely useful - I have used it as both a spoon and a fork and it works great as a spoon, but less so as a fork (more on that below). I noticed very little difference compared to an actual spoon, mainly because it is wide like a soup spoon, rather than long, so the tines don't take too much away from the spoon portion.
* Novelty - One of the main reasons I bought this item is because I have always been fascinated by sporks (they were the highlight of Taco Bell when I was a kid), so I have to admit that the novelty of it is a big part of the appeal. Will it wear off eventually? Probably, but it will still be useful so I'm not really concerned about it.

Cons:
* Made in China and it looks it - poor quality controls throughout. Mine came out of the box with several cosmetic blemishes and casting inconsistencies, none of which detract from the utility of the item, but for a $10 utensil I expected better.
* The Clip is all but worthless - As was mentioned in several other reviews, the clip portion is basically useless, I would not use it to clip the spork anywhere it might be lost if it falls off, as it probably will. I removed the clip and discarded it when I received my spork to remove the temptation of trying to use it.

Both:
* Very Lightweight - The weight is awesome and would be perfect for a camper/backpacker, which is what items like this were designed for, after all. However, as a personal preference, I like beefy utensils that feel indestructible; this item is not one of those. I knew that when I purchased it (titanium, duh) so I can't really count this as a con.
* It's a spoon with fork tendencies - the tines are just long enough to get you by; unless you are planning on trying to eat pasta, salad, or a steak. If you need the tines to grip your food you will be frustrated as the ones on this spork are just not long enough for that. Granted, it can be worked around, but it detracts from the utility of the item slightly. For the foods I eat a Foon (more fork than spoon) would probably be better. A complete set of utensils would undoubtably be the best bet, but where is the fun in that?

Overall I do not regret buying this item and it has performed as expected. It's lightweight, functional, and the novelty of it actually makes it kinda fun to eat lunch in the break room. Three stars for poor quality control and engineering on the spring clip/bottle opener.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Am Not Worthy, April 5, 2009

I am not worthy. This spork is the perfect object.

Above and beyond it's exceptional utility, the Brunton My-Ti Titanium Spork is a thing of beauty, an object d'art. And much, much more. It glows. It shines. In the dark, it is surrounded by a soft nimbus, like a holy object. No, not "like" a holy object. This IS a holy object.

Undoubtedly, when the God of Abraham said "thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image," he meant to append ". . . except for the Brunton My-Ti Titanium Spork, of course." (An obvious typographical error).

For, this spork -- THIS spork, and no other -- is surely the Spork of the Gods. This is the spork used by the habitués of Mount Olympus to ladle their ambrosia.

Yea, I say unto thee, o my brothers and sisters, THIS is the spork with which our Lord and Savior ate his Last Supper! Yes! That's the ticket! This is the Holy Spork itself! Placed only inches from the Holy Grail that held his wine, (easily recognizable in the Da Vinci painting).

So, there you have it. Purchase it. Love it. Write poems to it. Compose songs to it. Direct an epic film about it. Build an alter to it. Worship it. Let it be your key into the realm of the gods. Let the Brunton My-Ti Titanium Spork answer all your questions, soothe your existential despair.

Our Spork, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Spork. Thy Sporkdom come, thy Spork be done, on earth as it is in Spork Heaven . . .

Oh, yeah, I forgot: It also opens beer bottles.
