Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork:
I got this thinking that a spork would be the best of both worlds until I realized that I had no need for both worlds. I eat freezer bag meals on the trail primarily and I really have no reason for the "fork" component of the spork. It also makes me a little uneasy to dig into the bag even though the fork prongs are not sharp at all, I also didn't like have more edges to scrap against my non-stick pot if I ever used it directly. I do think the spork is great, lightweight, strong (couldn't get it to flex putting a little weight into it but not enough really to threaten it). My only problem again was that a spoon would actually serve me better with the types of things I eat. That being said, I will be returning the spork and picking up the spoon version of this instead.

Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork:
This spork is super lightweight and strong. Its comfortable in your hand, and just the right size. It doesn't put any kind of metallic taste in your mouth. Its tough as nails and a breeze to clean. Fits just about anywhere in your pack that you cram it. This thing is so cool that sometimes i just take it out and hold it in my hands and look at it.

Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork:
Lightweight all-purpose utensil perfect for backpacking. It's the only utensil we take on hiking & camping trips. Tines are long enough to spear pasta, holds soup and oatmeal well, long enough to stir in a 1L pot. My mouth is a little small, so the titanium edges of the spoon can rub my upper lip and leave tender spots in the corners if I'm not careful, but my husband has no problem with it. Also, I tend to misplace/lose everything - keeping it clipped to my pack with the handy carabiner has nixed that. No problems with durability, either.

Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork:
I love this little spork. I recently went on a 9-day roadtrip and while I was going to be car camping the entire time and could bring what I needed to be comfortable, I still didn't want to be packing more than was necessary. This spork is sturdy, lightweight, and has that handy little caribeener so it's easy to clip on to a pan or mug handle when transporting it to wash dishes. Speaking of which, it is very easy to clean as well!

Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork:
This spork is very good. I've tried it with a variety of things like canned peaches, pasta with meat sauce, and cereal. The tines are quite acceptable for grabbing up food and the spoon holds plenty. I torqued with my fingers a bit without any bend so unless I'm gonna use it as a pry bar, should be good. I only wish the handle was a bit longer which would be more comfortable in my larger (not circus size!) hands and cooking in a pot would be easier. If your thinking about getting one for your kids, my six year old found the spork too large for his mouth.

Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork:
First off this is NOT a titanium spork as stated in some previous posts, it's aluminum. Hence the durability being an issue. I bought this as a spare right before my Rainier trip since I forgot my Snowpeak Ti spork. After hiking up to Camp Schurman on the first day I pulled it out for dinner and it was already bent, not a big deal though since it's pretty flimsy and I bent it right back into place. Overall it's a nice spork at a great price; however, expect it to bend in your pack and not last as long as Ti.

Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork:
After a bad experience with a Light My Fire Spork (which broke in half while mixing mash potatoes) I decided to go with something that could easily handle mixing some dehydrated food and not break and hopefully last me many years to come. This spork has not let me down. It is strong and light and relatively cheap.

Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork:
Great choice of aluminum for cutlery... The hard anodization, I guess, was to prevent the base metal from reacting with certain food additives. The tines on the spork are just right; long enough for pasta and noodles but doesn't affect the 'spoon' part of the spork for soup duties. I don't suppose the serrations on the table knife are going to last very long, either. But regardless, I still like them for the very lightweight and minimalistic design, does what it's supposed to do very well. Compared to the Snow Peak and Light My Fire sporks, I still prefer my Snow Peak. These come a close second.

Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork:
i've had this bad boy for about a year now and have had no problems with it. nothing to really rave about it other then the fact that its super light. Its a spork what else do you need to know. i actually carry this with me every day in my man purse. Yes i have a man purse. anyway, i like to carry it around because i always find a use for it. if i pack a lunch for work i'm ready. if i buy something that requires a utensil and i forget to grab one from them, no worries i already have one. it cleans easy. low profile you'll almost forget that you even have it till you need it. great for backpacking. i used to have one of thos light my fire sporks but i defiantly like this better as its a little longer and makes it easier to get down to the bottom of thos freeze dried food bags.

Comments about Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spork:
Away with the plastic spoons/forks I used to carry. This is used almost daily, rigid enough to cut meats and shred poultry. The Spoon is ample enough for soups and cereal.
Finish not only looks cool, but makes it easy to maintain. It just makes me smile.
