4.0 out of 5 stars Too heavy, but very well made., May 5, 2008

I bought this because it seemed like a really neat tool to bring along with me while camping. I was going to be a attending a week-long music festival where i would need to supply my own plate and utensils. It also happens that everything was spread apart far enough that i had to pack my bag each morning and carry supplies for the whole day.

When i first got it i thought it was really neat.
Yes the three pieces come apart, although once you have taken them apart they are far less comfortable to grip.
I was impressed with the quality of this set, although after field testing it, i was a bit disappointed in it's functionality.

It comes with a belt holster that i thought was pretty neat. The loop is attached on both ends though, so you have to take off your belt to take off the holster. Maybe i just wear my pants loose, but i found that it was too heavy to wear on my belt, as it tended to pull down my pants. I tried putting it in my pocket, but that was even worse. It then was banished to the backpack, where it tended to get lost in the bottom, but then again so did everything else.

My other main problem was washing it. The pieces come apart for easy cleaning, but then i had no way to dry it completely before putting it back together. So many nooks! I was pretty sure that since it was steel it wasn't going to rust, but i was still concerned about germs, I was camping after all, and washing my dishes in cold water. The case is pretty secure so i wasn't sure if it would ever dry out. I ended up licking it clean and not washing it because i figured that was better than letting it sit in a puddle all week.

This is a really nice set, but it's really heavy!
The Knife cuts great, everything worked wonderfully, but it was just too heavy and too high maintenance to carry around while camping.

I ended up buying a titanium spork for the next year. light and unbreakable, and it worked great.

i Really like this folding set, it's so neat, i just don't have a use for it...

5.0 out of 5 stars Whoa this Hobo Knife rocks!, February 24, 2011

By

I used to buy food all the time at work and food courts and always used the plastic utensils they had lying around. I felt so bad for throwing knife after fork after spoon in the garbage. WHAT A WASTE! I felt like I wasn't doing my part to save the environment and I was lonely. I could feel the judgmental eyes of female co-workers and woman at the food court looking at me thinking to them-selves "That dude would be so much hotter if he just cared about the environment."

I would watch them from the corner of my eye walk past with disgusted stares in my direction as they threw away the half eaten, Styrofoam encased Happy Panda in the garbage. I could feel them saying to me "I didn't finish my food and discarded this because you don't care enough about our planet." Imagine the guilt I felt; imagine the pain.

Every day I would go out to eat or sit at my desk and just stare blankly at these plastic utensils whilst everyone else looked upon me in utter disgust as they sipped from there disposable paper cups. A cloud of despair hovered above me. I tried to talk to girls but I just had the stench of plastic utensil disposal seeping from my pores. I had to do something and I had to do it quick.

I started bringing in my own kitchen utensils one knife, one fork, and one spoon. I put them in a bag with my lunch and they would hit against each other making this ridiculous clanking noise. People would stop and stare at me utterly horrified thinking I was some type of strange kitchen monster coming around the corner to eat their children and soon people started making rumors that I was and no one would talk to me.

So I searched far and wide on the interwebs. Posted in forums asked the Google; asked the yahoo. Until I asked the Amazon "Oh great and omnipresent Amazon bring me relief!"
Amazon heard my prays and pointed me to the Sigg Outdoor Cutlery Knife (Steel)! I was ecstatic and was nearly fumbling with my credit card trying to order. There, I was done - order was placed.

I decided to take off from work the next couple of days and loaded myself up with Ramen Noodles and celery sticks. I sat patiently waiting at my front door like a farmer waiting for the man to take his property away. Door bell rings. I open the door and an angelic beam of light, a nimbus, surrounded the post man. As he handed me the small package I could hear angels singing. As the package was placed gently in my hand I felt electrified.

I placed the package on my coffee table and opened it slowly. In the darkness beyond the bubble wrap I saw it...oh it looked so beautiful. I opened it up and unsheathed it from its magical casing. It glistened in the light; I felt my confidence building. I held it up in air and I yelled at the top of my voice "I AM ECO-FRIENDLY!!!!!" I collapsed to the floor and when I awoke it was time to face the world.

As lunch time approached I could tell everyone felt something was different about me. I overheard a few people say "Did he get a haircut?"

"No, I think he used the stairs today."

"That can't be it...I wonder what it could be."

I ordered my lunch to go at the Happy Panda. I sat down at my desk, placed the paper and plastic take-out bag on my desk and began to take out my food. This was it. Everyone's eyes were on me. I could see them quivering in anticipation as their pupils darted back and forth around my desk looking for the infamous plastic utensils. I pulled out my Sigg Outdoor Cutlery Knife (Steel) holder and unsheathed it. It was monumental; a gasp came from the others around me, Janice from accounting fainted and Jack from the mail room micturated on the rug. As I pulled apart the 3 pieces, fork, knife and spoon, I could hear the women in the office begin to swoon. The strong ample steel was sturdy and robust and the knife cut like it was hot and my food was butter.

One by one the girls in the office started to kneel about my feet. I had done it I had become ECO-FRIENDLY!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for work (and for a non-camper), September 25, 2009

I carried a full sized metal fork, spoon, and knife (with sheath) in my lunch bag every day for years and this 3-in-1 not only saves space but also rattling noise. I love that it comes in its own little case, too. I wish I had it a long time ago. Others have commented on the weight as it is solid steel, but it's no heavier than my cell phone or PDA. And like others I hated throwing away plastic cutlery. I don't wear it on my belt, and as I carry it in my bag I don't notice the weight. My only fear is getting so used to having it with me that I'll forget it's there when I'm going through airport security and having it taken away from me!
