More of a novelty than useful. A small fork and combo spoon/knife/food pusher that pops out of a die cut credit card sized piece of plastic. I see this more of an ID card proving that you are indeed crazy about food and silly about cutlery for that matter. A little pricey at $20 but worth it for the looks on your fellow diner’s faces when you attempt to pay for lunch with it instead of a real credit card.
When I was a young man, having a beer bottle opener hanging around your neck was very useful. And it meant a lot of people would come up to say hello and leave a small spritz of beer on your shirt. This travel cutlery available at UnCommonGoods.com has the bottle opener and a knife, fork and spoon. Stainless steel with a plastic case and lanyard that comes in black or orange. You’ll never drop your spoon under the table again.
OK, look closely at the picture. The fork is a socket, the spoon is a wrench and the knife is a pair of pliers (does that make the knife a pair now?). Novelty is pretty much the value here but it’s still pretty cool. I’m sure my Dad would be interested in the spin off product line called Lureware.
Three of us got one of these in our Xmas stocking, two of us adults and one college student. The adults thought “Hmmm…good for camping and opening beer.” and the student thought “Perfect for the dorm! (and beer)”. Eating prepared food in some dorms is against the rules and even finding cutlery is a possible fine. So we declared it the “Stealth Spork” and then one of the ladies in the room brandished it in her fist declaring it a great self-defense weapon. The CRKT Eat’N Tool is now known in our house as the “Killer Stealth Spork”. I love this and plan to buy more as gifts.
