Sea to Summit Alpha Light

I own quite a few bits of this Sea To Summit aluminium cutlery now – a knife, fork and spoon set, a long spoon (which is great for stirring pans), a different kind of knife with wrench cutouts in the handle which doesn’t seem to be available anymore, and now this spork. A lot of reviewers evidently find the ‘mouth feel’ of the anodised finish objectionable, but I can’t say it bothers me, so I guess it’s a matter of personal taste. The cutlery is incredibly light, being made of 7075 T6 hard anodised aluminium alloy (I’m reading the handle here!). This spork weighs in at a mere 9.6g, according to my digital scales. It’s also well designed – the crease down the handle gives it good rigidity despite the thinness of the metal used. Also, the mini carabiners which come with all this STS cutlery are really cute and dinky – STS ought to make these available separately.

Well designed. Weighs almost nothing. Great cutlery (have a spork, spoon, knife and long spoon for freeze dried food). Some people prefer shiny heads on titanium handles (I have one of these but it’s heavier and more expensive). Personally I don’t have a preference. Comes down to choice.

I use this every day, light weight, strong and performs as you might expect a Spork would. If the carabiner had a locking mechanism then it might be useful as a way to store it outside the pack, as it is this is a bit too important to risk losing because a simple single movement carabiner.

I love love love this spork. I had one as part of a spork and knife pair and sadly mislaid the spork. It is the most comfortable, efficient and easy to clean implement I have had for work lunches etc... I was so thrilled to find I could buy the missing part separately.

Arrived quickly and was exactly as needed. Was bought to replace one previously bought many years ago and broke.

This is perfect for my desk draw at work for eating fruit pots, stirring tea ETC. You can also just throw it in your backpack it is unlikely to bend or break. It is very light and easy to clean, You will still need a knife if eating a real meal as although you can cut soft things with it, there is no real blade on it so bread/meat ETC require a blade.An update the finish has degraded in the wash and touching it gives me the chalk board oooh feeling,I no longer use it and have bought a cheap plastic

Just the job,great for camping.Very useful and practical and does what it's supposed to do.
