Multi-purpose: There’s something to be said for having a multi-purpose spork that can open beer bottles or cans, even if they do weigh more than other options. It all depends on your most frequent needs and priorities. Here are some of the features we recommend you consider before buying. These are also the guidelines we followed when testing them, Material

A spork is the combination of a fork and a spoon into one handy utensil. Camping sporks often add a short cutting edge on one side to complete your cutlery set and give you everything you need to eat a three-course meal outdoors.

The SuperSafe™ Spork is a 2-in-1 combination spoon and fork. It is designed to be the perfect substitute to replace both a conventional spoon and fork.

The two different types of spork are the single head and the dual head. Single-head sporks have a handle at one end and a spoon/fork/knife at the other. Double-headed sporks most commonly have a full spoon at one end and a fork/knife at the other. Sporks are great for soups and other runny foods that need the bowl of a spoon. I use my titanium spork for soup all the time, and it is great for cooling it down when it’s too hot. Finally, I’ve found that my Alpkit Snapwire Foon has a tendency to fold up on itself if I’m using it to eat food that is quite dense, such as macaroni and cheese, which is a little irritating. Somewhere, there must be an immutable law of industrial design that states that the usability of each additional function added to a multi-purpose device drops proportionally to the number of functions added. Like an office printer/scanner/fax, or even a Swiss Army knife, no single functionality works as well as a dedicated machine or tool would. Sometimes, it’s good enough (Army knife), but sporks don’t meet my threshold. Too bad, because it’s such a fun word.

With a spork, you get a fork that can’t grab onto much, and a spoon that can’t hold much. I just carry a real fork and a real spoon (both of sturdy polycarbonate), and do some extra leg squats to be able to haul the extra ounce. Titanium is incredibly lightweight and completely *biocompatible, so it doesn’t corrode or leech taste/chemicals, is as strong as steel but 45% lighter, and super resistant to extreme heat and cold. Titanium naturally resists bacteria and mold and, unlike stainless steel, won’t ever rust. For all these reasons, titanium is the best material for sporks and cooking utensils in general. How Do You Clean a Titanium Spork? You can't design a perfect sporf, er, spork, because there will always be compromises. But it is possible to design a better spork. A more usable spork. A less ugly spork. Map Project has done exactly that. The London studio recently unveiled the Tritensil, which is a fancy name for a spork with a knife on it. But it’s the prettiest damn spork in existence, and a testament to what creative design thinking can do.

The sporf is an unsolvable design problem. Think about it: It’s a tool with three jobs—it's a fork, a spoon and a knife—but isn't equipped to do any of them well. The utensil was pretty much born to fail. As if that isn't enough, it's also got a horrible name, so we will refer to it as a spork, which is a great name.You don’t need anything special to clean a titanium spork; just some soap and water will be fine. You can throw it in the dishwasher or scrub it with a rough sponge without worry, and it only takes a few seconds to clean.
