My plastic spork tends to do the job fairly well. Why should I upgrade to this model?

Titanium, when exposed to air, is covered in an oxide layer which is anti-bacterial. I carry mine with me everywhere.

I bought a couple of these for my wife and I a while back and they are awesome. Very durable and super lightweight. They don't stain or retain food odors like plastic utensils. Trust me, you don't want the funk from freeze dried pad thai to hang around in your utensils...

Correction - I think mine are REI TiWare, which cost $7.50

This is indeed the same ones from Thinkgeek. They are made from titanium but they are pretty thin and flimsy, I can bend it very easily, a standard stainless steel fork is much stronger.

I Fully agree with commondog. If you are going to go and pay for titanium, get the one he said. It's super swell.

The weight isn't that good a deal. One can drill a hole in a stainless steel spoon and do just as well for backpacking. Titanium was extremely sexy when very expensive while a strategic resource. The end of the Cold War made supplies much easier. Snow Peak began selling a Titanium propane stove for a fraction of the previously available brands about 10-15 years ago.

They make a really cool set of chop sticks though! Wooden ends that screw off and store in the titanium handle/tubing.
