3.0 out of 5 stars A good kit, but probably not what you want., April 4, 2008

This review is from: Brunton My-Ti 3-Piece Titanium Flatware Set (Sports)

Executive summary:
Knife is not useful. Spoon is most useful but too short. Fork is modestly useful. If you know you need all this, then buy the kit. But for most backpackers, buy a separate long handled titanium spoon. Or, look for a spork you actually like (yes, I know there is a bias against sporks, but really they are very practical).

The long version of my review:
I was wanting to get this set for a while, and my wife finally bought it for me for Xmas.

I am an avid backpacker, and over the years I am trying to reduce the weight of my gear, and this seemed to be a good choice.

Here is what I have to say:
The kit as a whole: I like how they are clipped together, better than some passive sliding locking system. You can also use the loop for other food related items, and keep it all together.
The knife: Not useful, redundant. I carry a couple sharp knives with me anyway, and a dinner knife just isn't that useful out in nature. You wouldn't want to use it to cut an apple up. It seems perfect for cutting up cooked carrots or something of that nature. In short, you think you need it because you use it at home, but when you get out in the field you really don't.
The spoon: The most used part of the kit, good for stirring soup, tea, or eating cooked freeze dried food. HOWEVER it is too short (at 6.375 inches long) to eat out of a food bag (a la backpacker's pantry or mountain house) without getting food all over the handle where you have to hold it. There are some long handled titanium spooons which work much better.
The fork: It serves its purpose. I feel ambivalent about it, I could get by without it.

If you don't need the ultralight, just get a "hobo knife" or "hobo tool" there are many here on Amazon. If you need ultralight, grab a titanium spoon only, or a titanium spork.

5.0 out of 5 stars nice, strong lightweight flatware, December 24, 2007

I used to just being an old SS fork and spoon (from an old set) that I drilled a hole in the handle to loop a bit of rope. I got done christmas shopping early and had a little left over so I thought I'd treat myself. boy... this whole set weighs less than my old SS soup spoon. In addition to weighing a bunch less, they're quite a bit stronger too. I interlaced the tines on this fork into the tines of my old SS fork and bent the two.... the SS tines bent, the titanium ones didn't. Of course, they're not MEANT to be pry tools, I just wanted to compare. There is NO comparison to any of the cheaper brand SS flatware.... and I HATE plastic flatware (even lexan) as I sometimes use my flatware to cook with, and I've melted more lexan forks than I care to remember (which is why I switched to my old SS). Regarding what someone else said about mfr defects, I guess that can happen with anything, whether it be a true MANUFACTURING defect or if it's some sort of damage (something fell on it at the warehouse) causing bent tines or the like.... I've had other Brunton items in the past, and they're pretty easy to work with.... but for the sake of bent or misaligned tines, I'd just take a pair of pliers to it if it was me. Eat well on the trail.

I have purchased Optimus Titanium 3-Piece Cutlery Set (fork, knife, spoon) and Brunton My-Ti 3-Piece Titanium Flatware Set. Both of them are very useful and must have for the picnics. I liked the Optimus design more than Brunton one, but the knife from that set has no sharp edge. That's why I give 4 stars to Optimus and 5 stars to Brunton.
