Review on Reusable Stainless Steel Travel Utensils Set - Portable Cutlery Kit with Case, 8pcs Including Dinner Knife, Fork, Spoon, Chopsticks, and Straws (Silver) by Kahyin Hawkins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good cutlery, but the carrying case literally stinks.

The cutlery serves its purpose, there are no complaints about the size of the dishes or their durability and although I don't use straws or chopsticks I do use a straw brush to clean the straw of my thermos. No thrills, everything works as it should and I haven't noticed any rust or wear. The big issue is the tote bag, it's good for what it is and everything fits in it easily, but there is one unforeseen issue that I never expected. After a while it starts to smell, at first the smell is insignificant, but after a while it borders on nausea. In my opinion, the culprit is the silvery plastic lining inside the case, which absorbs odors, even after cleaning the inside and hand washing the entire case, the smell doesn't go away. I know this sounds trivial to some, but the reason I bought the set was because it was inexpensive and came with a carrying case. Having to throw away the case defeats the whole purpose of the set, otherwise I would have just used my homemade cutlery, but I figured a separate set that I can easily toss in my bag would be a better choice. Looks like I got it wrong.

Pros
  • a beautiful thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
