Review on 🍴 TOAKS Titanium 3-Piece Cutlery Set: Lightweight & Durable Utensils for Outdoor Adventures by Collin Jackson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than a plastic, titanium or stainless steel fork every day. Throw away your spor and buy this set.

My first experience with titanium for camping equipment. So far I've bucked the titanium cookware trend, but a full set of well-made flatware seemed worth the investment. I purchased the TOAKS Titanium 3 piece cutlery set to replace a heavy duty stainless steel fork and spoon combo called the Hungry Camper and was not disappointed. I've been using my Hungry Camper since the early 90's (so long that I originally ordered it through the mail via a back cover ad in Backpacker magazine...before the internet and e-commerce). I used to tout the virtues of the Hungry Camper to anyone who would listen, but the TOAKS set won me over. Oh, what a pleasure to have a fork and a knife in different hands at the same time! And have a real fork with real tines that can actually cut into food with precision! Anyway, I bought a TOAKS set for a trip to the Bridger Wilderness in Wyoming in August and it has served me well. It was lighter than my old Hungry Camper but had a lot more functionality. The fork, spoon and knife are strong enough and sturdy enough. . . bendable, but not without a lot of effort. I should note that my fellow traveler brought a cheap plastic backpack and by the end of the trip (after enough celebratory and healing beers) admitted he was jealous of my TOAKS cutlery set (I could ask him to send him a set for x- as a surprise ). My only minor complaint is with the tiny D-ring carabiner that comes with the kit. The carabiner holds the set together well, but due to its shape, the individual parts get caught when clipping in. Not a big deal, but using an oval carabiner would eliminate the jamming. Despite this minor issue, I found that keeping the kit together made it a little easier to fish them out of my crowded bag. I considered leaving the carbine for the WY trip, but later I was glad I hadn't.
