A full-size usable fork, spoon, and knife (and the knife does cut meat) weighs only 20 grams. They also now have a mini version weighing in at only 8.5 grams. My daughters have been using them in their lunchboxes for two years now and love them.

These look interesting and a better option than a Spork. Any users here?

My long-handled titanium spoon is 18 grams. I carry a lightweight pocket knife anyway, and anything I would use a fork for I can use my spoon for.

I've noticed that the size and shape of a bushwalking spoon is really important. Is it big enough that you don't spend all evening eating food one teaspoon at a time? And is it the right shape for getting the freeze-dried food out from the corners of the sachet? This blue one looks OK for that. Now if only they made a version that has the embedded ruler in cm rather than inches? I suppose it's for measuring the size of the fish that you catch.

I don't like the spoon having a knife "sharp enough to cut meat" as the handle. I also dislike the color choices. I prefer my spoon to have a neutral appearance.

As has already been pointed out, a set that weighs 20g isn't remarkable. I just walked to the kitchen and pulled out the nicest looking spoon, fork, and knife in our collection of disposable/compostable pieces. The knife is serrated and would cut pretty well. The spoon is one that I frequently take on trips. The three pieces weighed 17.6g.

Tritensil promises a life-time warranty -- free replacement if something breaks. That sounds nice.

My Sea to Summit spoon weighs 8 g. I only need a spoon as I have long done away with need for a fork. Just shovel it in... :)

I like the S2S offering but I like being able to pack my whole cook system into the pot I'm traveling with and found a foldable utensil is best.
I have a few systems that fit into a single pot, a UL 450ml pot that houses a metho stove, a bushcraft 750ml pot that hangs over a fire and a GSI Pinnacle Soloist that houses a cannister and stove.
Each one has a foldable Titanium Spork;

As I mentioned in the BPL review ( I think...) I have tried the two sizes and found them to be better than the other types of sporks I have, however I am happy with my long handle Ti spoon and the Opinel knife that I would carry anyway.
For people that like a smaller packed volume and a long handle at the same time, the Tritensil could be a good solution
