on my fourth pair of these over the course of a decade+, because I keep losing them or lending them out. the spatula will wear as others noted, going easy on hot pans will help - although they are very heat resistant I've found that if I use them for sauteed or frying they lose a bit of their edge. the absolute best spatula for getting all the peanut butter out of the jar.

Always carry a set with me. The knife/spatula is perfect for even hard cheeses or taking corn off the cob. Make great gifts. Excellent for camping.

At first I was very typical about this product until I use it. I was very amazed how compact, lightweight, and useful for cooking. I use everything that describes online. This is a must to take with me on the trip.

I sort of have a little bit of an obsession for camping utensils. It might be a problem. But the first step to overcoming a problem is admitting it, so I'm just going to refuse to admit it for now.But if it's any indication, I don't eat with regular silverware any home anymore. Ever. And if I think I can get away with it, I bring my own utensils to restaurants. It has definitely earned a few raised eyebrows from my spouse. I think I've even earned a few "put those away and act normal for a while".I tell you this not to brag (because we all know that whipping out plastic silverwear at a fine restaurant is the coolest thing a person can do)but to establish my credentials in the camping utensil universe.I don't even want to venture a guess at how many sets of camping utensils I've owned over the years. It would just make you feel bad, and jealous, and coincidentally probably get me in trouble with the household budget committee.There are 2 set of utensils I always have on me. There is the back up "Sickle Titanium Spork with Lifetime Warranty and Built-In Bottle Opener" that has a permanent spot in my backpack, but honestly doesn't get taken out as often. And then there are the Microbite sets, of which I have a few... a few being more than 3, but less than the number that would earn close inspection from the household budget committee.It's this set that I most often break out. In fact, it's this set that has it's own little slot in our silverware tray. And it's this Guyot Designs Microbite set that I'm coming back here today to buy another pair. And since this it my umpteepmth set, I thought I should finally write a review.I'll do this backwards. First, the one small issue I have this them - but frankly it's probably an unavoidable issue.- After long repeated use the edge on the spatula piece begins to dull and wear a bit. But we're talking a good couple years of near daily use before I look at it and think "maybe I should buy another replacement sent". This morning for example, as I was making eggs in cast iron using the spatula to scramble eggs I noticed that my oldest set is starting to wear a bit. But honestly.. they're plastic. I don't expect them to be eternal. And for the amount i use them they've stood up very well.The good.- They are durable. As a counter point to the above, they are a good hard sturdy plastic that resists heat well. It takes a lot to wear them down. I had a set of different utensils I bought recently when I forgot my backpack, and hence my Microbite set. And I wasn't about to use cafeteria silverware... ewwww. This other set was in about the same price range, but as soon as i pressed down hard with the fork it bowed. And they jsut felt flimsy in general. The Microbite set feels solid.- The are versatile. The spork is just the right depth to work for soup (it's still a spork though, don't expect it to work as well as a spoon on soup) the tongs on the spork are deep enough to spear small veggies. The spatula works well. It's got a sharp enough edge on 2 sides to cut soft foods. And a single serrated edge that can cut through tender meat (again, it's a plastic serrated spatula though, don'' expect it to work like a metal knife. It works well for everything from spreading peanut butter to scrambling eggs.- They are well designed. Guyot Designs either put some research in, or got extremely lucky. They hit that sweet spot just right. You aren't going to flip pancakes with the spatula, but it will fit in a narrow mouth jam jar. And as i mentioned, the spork sits right in that spot between functional spoon and fork nicely.You can't really see it in the picture, but the two pieces click together nicely. They don't just lay against each other, they lock in place. Sp they are very easy to throw in a backpack, purse, bag, pocket, sock, glove compartment, etc. I put a little Nite Ize S-Biner through the last hole on mine just to make them even more attachable. I haven't tried clicking them to my belt loop yet... but i feel like that day is coming.So ya... I love these things. I envision a day when i purge our home of all our silverware and only use these. That would be frikkin awesome - and you know it.

Its about the same exact size as my spork so if you have one you dont need the other. But I didnt buy it for the spoon. I bought it for the spatula which is useless as a spatula. It's flat. You could do general stirring with it. But to get past the edge of your pan and under what ever you are spatula'ing, the handle needs to have a bend—and this has none.

Very durable unit, the design is pretty good and overall I'm satisfied. The spoon is slightly oddly shaped when compared to everyday spoons, makes it a little challenging to get some food out of the bottom of the spoon, but then again these aren't for everyday usage...they're for spending time out in the brush for crying out loud. Therefore, just flip that spoon over and lick the remaining mashed potatoes out of the trough of the spoon and enjoy the solitude of the brush.Like the feature of them snapping together. That's nice when you reach into your BOB in the dark and able to land both at the same time.

Adequately sturdy and functional given a lightweight objective. Could have been much more functional if molded differently... The spoon has 3 notches that make it a fork and the center notch is cut deepest for some reason. That effectively reduces the amount of liquid the spoon can hold to about ½ a teaspoon if level, and since the spoon isn't level dipping into your pot, but tipped towards the notches as you scoop the last of your soup, you get about ¼ teaspoon of liquid...ugh. The improvement would be to have the notches not as deep and following the contour line of water in the spoon and possible angling the handle more like a ladle.Next, the spatula handle is in line with the blade, totally flat, not angled. Most home spatulas are 'bent' or angled where the blade meets the handle so you can reach under food (pancake) at the edge of the pan to flip food. This is especially needed where your pot is deep sided and not a low sided fry pan. The picture here doesn't show how the utensils snap together, but the spatula overlies the spoon top. If the design was changed to an angled spatula handle then it would snap underneath the spoon with the angle handle conforming to the spoon somewhat.The item weighed 0.7 oz on my postal scale.

I bought a set of these and immediately bought another. One set is in my Bug Out Bag and I use the other daily. The Spork is almost perfect, salad and soup are the only things it tackles poorly. The spatula, knife, spreader thing is OK. It cuts through steak and other meats pretty well. After multiple uses it starts to have durability issues. The teeth start to fold over and the edges dent in. It still works, but I find myself not wanting to use it.Worth the price just for the spork.
