I bought one and am waiting for another. It works exactly as it should and is very strong. I was also amazed at the knife's sharpness. It is not serrated but has a razor thin and very sharp edge. You'll have to keep sharpening it but that is even better than serrated knives because it can be kept very sharp.
If you aren't prepared, you may think that this "falls apart" when it separates. But this is simply so that the knife and fork can be used together as they naturally are at home. Unlike plastic, this one won't break when cutting food and won't melt when stirring coffee or tea (who wants melted plastic in tea or coffee?) In fact, if you had a very small apartment with a shortage of kitchen drawers, you could easily stow these in a tin. Besides camping trips, this would work very well for eating lunch at your desk while at work. It is also fun for surprising visitors who think this is some kind of Swiss army knife. Should be included in an emergency kit... Read more

I have been looking for an affordable fork, spoon and knife combination for camping.
Many seem to be way overpriced for a set of fork, spoon and knife($15-20). This came to my attention as the cheapest choice. The finish and quality is not great but very acceptable for less than $4. With some sharpening, the knife can be used as a steak knife. What I didn't like (minus one star) was the oil used for lubrication. Be sure to remove it before the first use. It smells like chemical lubricant similar to WD40. To remove the oil, I kept mine in hot water with some detergent over night. ----- (Updated on Sept 14, 2010) Disappointment. Exterior panels, spoon, knife and fork are all made with stainless steel, but some internal plates seem to be rusting only after few use and clean-ups. Even with rusting, it is still usable, but I have to admit it looks awful. (minus one star) |
