    Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Utensil Set:

    I wanted to love these, but couldn't do it. First, the texture on these utensils is too gritty. Maybe I have sensitive teeth, but when the spoon or fork would drag against my teeth, it was like nails on a chalk board. The texture and holes in the handles make them more difficult to clean. The cheese from my Mountain House lasagna stuck to them like bathroom caulk. On the upside, these are very light and having the fork and knife is convenient when eating things like chicken breast as opposed to trying it with foon or spork.

    Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Utensil Set:

    They look cool but that maybe the flaw. The holes to minimize weight and add looks makes them hard to clean as food get caught in them. Next the coating has started to deteriorate after about 5 outings on the more used of the three utensils. For the price IMO you can get something better for feeding yourself IMO from a quality standpoint, even lighter too for the gram counters.

            Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Utensil Set:

            I've taken these on every excursion I go on and I even use 'em at home some time. I've ran them through the wash in my pocket a few times because they're so light. The wrench size is also a perfect fit for most camp stove propane-lines. I've never had any kind of issues with these, although the anodized finish is starting to scrape off the edges... (but I've had them since 2008)

            Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Utensil Set:

            These are not that bad, but there is one thing that really bothers me about them, the texture they use for the finish feels very... odd on your teeth/in your mouth. They are kind of gritty and rough.

            Another thing to note is that they are hard to clean when food gets inside the holes.

            After I got a snowpeak titanium spork i have loved it and always grabbed it over this set for any hike

            They are light and they are tough, but I plan on returning them

            Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Utensil Set:

            My husband and I each got a set of these for camping, and they're really lightweight and nice. However, my husband threw them in the dishwasher when we got home from camping, and this ruined the coating on them. I don't know if there is any warning against this on the packaging, and I wouldn't have put them in the dishwasher myself, but just in case there isn't: Don't do it!

              I bought this set because I hate sporks and I wanted something very lightweight. This set filled my every need except having a sharp knife that can actually cut something. I find myself using my pocket knife to cut stuff most of the time. This isn't a huge deal though because when im on trail I never use a knife, only when I'm at work and have access to meat.

                I love these utensils! I carry them in my purse as well as my backpack. Now I don't have to use disposable utensils ever again. They're lightweight and durable. I would buy them again if I had to, but unless I lose them, they'll probably last a very long time.

                  These utensils are great. The fork is super strong and won't get bent at the end. The knife works well too. The utensils are extremely strong and light. I can't find an area to complain.
                  This talk of food getting caught in the holes needs to end (Redder). The food goes on the other end of the utensil, not where the holes are!
                  Sea to Summit makes great products. End of story.
