KA-BARTactical Spork (Spoon Fork Knife) Tool 9909 Black, 1 Pack

It seems that everyone makes a spork nowadays. Plastic, titanium, zinc, aluminum, stainless. You name it, they've made it into a spork. Sporks have been around since the late 19th century. Now, even Ka-bar makes a spork.Being a Former Marine and Ka-Bar fanboy I just had to have one or two. You never know when you need to hunker down and kill off a can of spam while hunting zombies to replenish your internal engine.This spork is made from Grilamid FWA, a high-strength, technical polymer. It's food safe and UV resistant. Apparently the plastic is made by the same company that makes Grivory plastics, which is common among knife manufacturers, especially Ka-Bar.The spork is lightweight with a proper fit & finish. I detected no burrs or excessive mold marks. Removing the knife was easy provided you grab the spork towards both ends and not the middle. There was no wobble or excessive movement when the spork was in it's closed position.The knife does a decent job cutting beef, chicken, and spam. It's a bit short to get any leverage when making long cuts in a steak as I had to place my index finger along the top spine of the blade. The blade is too narrow for spreading jams or butters, the spork end worked better.The spork, itself, works adequately enough. The tines are short and somewhat dull. I found that sharpening them up with a bit of emery board worked wonders. The bowl of the spoon is small for liquid soups, but works well on stews and beans. Traditionally, sporks have never worked well on soups. Drinking soup from a can, canteen, or cup/mug always works the best.Clean-up is easy. The plastic should handle temps up to 60°C. Safe for dishwashers, but the spork is light and might fly around.All-in-all, this is a decent spork. It's light and packs well. The plastic is very tough and should hold up better than a metal spork. Although the knife works, it's best to use your EDC knife along side the spork. While there are many choices for sporks, this is one of the better ones. It's all-inclusive in one small, lightweight package. Using the knife against zombies is just and added bonus.

When you marry someone of prior military service, you instantly become aware of how important equipment and tools are. For some reason - everything must be multipurpose, of highest grade material and must be able to hold up to anything they can throw at it.Enter the Ka-Bar Tactical Spork - a tool so rugged even prior military loves it! Funny enough it was just something random discovered on amazon one day and my prior military member HAD to have it. So - I fired up my prime and ordered it.Upon arrival the package was torn open and immediately the Ka-Bar was put through its paces - cutting any food that could be pulled out, stabbing said food to test the spork and spooning liquids to measure fluid capture abilities (seriously this happened).The Ka-Bar knife slides into the handle of the spork making it not only safer for lunch box storage but more discreet as well, even a steak knife is questionable at campuses these days. It has been in daily use for months and still shows no signs of wear. This is tough! if my former military member can put it through the paces and it doesn't even show wear? Its totally worth it! I think I may purchase a second one for the Christmas stocking this year - just to have a backup in case this one is stuck in the dishwasher or misplaced or forgotten at the office. Its that versatile.The latch that holds the two parts together also has not shown any signs of wear and is just as stiff and crisp as it was the day it arrived.Good Product, tough and rugged - and besides that "it looks cool"

I got this back in 2018 because I drive a lot for work so I live out of a vehicle with a backpack and cooler. I have used it almost every day since then and it has served well over 6 years. I use a separate knife when I eat but the built in one works in a pinch.
