i use a grapefruit spoon, kinda like a spork but better at cutting.

Depends on the mood or what I can find. Typically just a spoon but occasionall a spoon and fork (lexan for both)

be careful with that one. I went that route......the titanium bands are pretty cheap, so it might give your dear bride the wrong idea: that she can spend MUCH more on her band.........

Try Unobtanium, it'll really show you love her!

I typically bring the nylon fork and spoon, but Charly just got me my first titanium spork to accompany my Titanium pot.

Incidentally, the nylon (I don't think they're lexan) utensils weigh 0.8 ounces, and the Ti spork weighs 0.54 ounces.

The weight savings is the same as 0.25 fluid ounces, or about 7.4 ml, or 1/135th of a Nalgene, just to put things in perspective.

Yeah.... but now you match. All titanium baby.

Backpacker.com actually had an article just recently (re-printed from the June 2005 issue) debating the merits of stainless steel vs. free spoons or sporks.
