Brunton My-Ti Titanium Flatware is extremely lightweight at 1.7 ounces while incredibly strong because it's titanium. This 3-piece utensil set is linked with an easy-to-open ring, and comes in a clear plastic tube for storage in your pack or gear closet. Sandblasted construction makes for smooth, comfortable handles and eating surfaces, and My-Ti Titanium Flatware will not rust or impart a metallic flavor to your backcountry breakfast. Dimensions: 7.13 x 1.44 x 1.38
Reader Reviews
Executive summary:
Knife is not useful. Spoon is most useful but too short. Fork is modestly useful. If you know you need all this, then buy the kit. But for most backpackers, buy a separate long handled titanium spoon. Or, look for a spork you actually like (yes, I know there is a bias against sporks, but really they are very practical).
The long version of my review:
I was wanting to get this set for a while, and my wife finally bought it for me for Xmas.
I am an avid backpacker, and over the years I am trying to reduce the weight of my gear, and this seemed to be a good choice.
Here is what I have to say:
The kit as a whole: I like how they are clipped together, better than some passive sliding locking system. You can also use the loop for other food related items, and keep it all together.
The knife: Not useful, redundant. I carry a couple sharp knives with me anyway, and a dinner knife just isn't that useful out in nature. You wouldn't want to use it to cut an apple up. It seems perfect for cutting up cooked carrots or something of that nature. In short, you think you need it because you use it at home, but when you get out in the field you really don't.
The spoon: The most used part of the kit, good for stirring soup, tea, or eating cooked freeze dried food. HOWEVER it is too short (at 6.375 inches long) to eat out of a food bag (a la backpacker's pantry or mountain house) without getting food all over the handle where you have to hold it. There are some long handled titanium spooons which work much better.
The fork: It serves its purpose. I feel ambivalent about it, I could get by without it.
If you don't need the ultralight, just get a "hobo knife" or "hobo tool" there are many here on Amazon. If you need ultralight, grab a titanium spoon only, or a titanium spork.
