Review on Rainbow Portable Stainless Steel Flatware Set - Travel Camping Cutlery Utensil Silverware Dinnerware With Waterproof Case by Terry Murphy

I recently visited a sea turtle rescue, and realized just how insensitive and selfish an animal I am on the Earth. My eyes were opened to the amount of single-use plastic I have been using, (including grocery bags) and Ive committed to reduce my plastic use.Seeing a baby sea turtle die because it ate 90 pieces of plastic floating in the ocean pushed me to make a change- recycling cans and bottles on my curb isnt enough- I need to stop my use of plastics in the first place!This set of silverware will travel with me everywhere now in my backpack.I already have some metal straws (one in my car's glovebox) but now have a straight and a bent one to travel with me as well. And a pipecleaner to clean them thoroughly!Sadly, each utensil was wrapped in a mini-plastic bag, but the net drop in my plastic use will be long-term.The set is heavy-duty and solid. Stamped "stainless steel", the chopsticks seem to be solid, not hollow, so they hold in the hand better than hollow ones. The black color is unique as most silverware is.uh.silver. I considered the blue and the rainbow colors, (both beautiful options) but they seemed a bit flashy for me.Im wondering if they will scratch thru the black finish over time (hence the mini plastic bags for shipping) but the purpose of buying them is the driving factor. Ill probably end up wrapping a clean napkin between them so I have it for use if I need it while protecting their appearance.I wont be using these for hiking/camping as I have lighter weight options for that, but these are perfect for everyday use- when I need them at work or elsewhere because only plastic is offered.I am thrilled with these and recommend you buy a set as well!
