 It's Ok October 29, 2008
This spoon, fork, knife combo works well enough but so would cheaper seperate utensils. Fork end has the knife on it's edge and is a little rough on the mouth if your not careful. Also if you are cutting food you kind of need a fork to hold it at the same time. It is lightweight but so are plastic picnic utensils. Buy this if you are into gadgets, otherwise save your money.
 Love for the spork... August 30, 2008
I love these sporks! I picked up a few at the Outdoor Gear Exchange the last time I was in VT. I gifted most of them out to family & friends and somehow managed to lose mine. Decided to check out what Amazon had to offer and ordered up a few for myself and family. I keep one in my car (my parents do the same), one in my office and one at home.
My only dislike is that the knife is somewhat useless if what you are cutting isn't tender. However, I have used it to cut through oversized pieces of pasta with no problems.
I love these sporks. They're fun to include in a gift (campers, college students, etc.) and always raise a few eyebrows.
 it's a three dollar "spork"... and not necessary August 10, 2008
i bought it clearance and used it backpacking for two weeks and really, all i needed was a spoon. the fork/fake knife combo might've been helpful if a) i had ever needed it and b) it didn't get in the way while trying to eat using the spoon side. it's nice that it's light, but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a good utensil. there's no need for another fancy marketable product, just use what you already have. there's a reason it works.
Good while it lasted July 28, 2008
The ergonomics of this product are great. However, the spoon snapped off of the body after just two weeks of lunch-time use.
A Utensil Too Far February 26, 2008

Light My Fire has produced arguably the best spork, fork-spoon combination, ever made; unfortunately, they were not satisfied with this and insisted on trying to make it a knife as well. This was a bad idea for three reasons. First, the smooth side of a fork is good enough for "soft" cutting. Second, the serrations are neither long enough nor sharp enough to be much good as a knife, but they are sharp enough to damage the mouth if the wielder is careless. Third, for any serious cutting you'd need a separate knife and fork anyway. All in all it would be a much better product without the poor attempt at a knife.
However, other than this minor design flaw, it is a wonder: a genuinely useful spoon paired with a more than adequate fork in an ergonomic design, made of Teflon-friendly, heat resistant polycarbonate. Of course making the other utensil the handle of the one you are using will present difficulties if you need to switch back and forth without being able to clean it first. The only other nit worth picking is that the sunken lettering of the logo on the top of the handle and the raised lettering of the abbreviation for polycarbonate on the bottom of the handle are both annoying dirt catchers, a defining case of "too much information".
Still, for the purpose of substituting a single utensil for two, either in the great outdoors or the cubicle jungle, it cannot be beat!
Note: These items are also available in 4-packs: Light My Fire Spork 4-Pack, and there is a slightly larger model for the "large handed" (or the "large stomached"): Light My Fire Spork XM and an even larger Serving Spork: Light My Fire Serving Spork for the main dish (or for real NFL players sporking Campbell's Chunky Fully Loaded out of the Black Cans).
