Light My Fire Titanium Spork is a convenient utensil primarily designed for outdoor eating or eating on the go.

As the name suggests, it is made from titanium and promises to be non-corrosive, non-allergic and non-magnetic.

A little about spork - What is a spork?

A spork is a kitchen utensil that basically does the job of a spoon and a fork. The spork has a scoop just like a spoon and tines like that of a fork. The combination of the utility and design of a spoon and a fork results in the name Spork, or Foon.

Traditionally, the scoop and the tines of a spork are amalgamated at the same end of the utensil. However, many recent versions of sporks have the scoop and tine at two separate ends. A spork generally has two, three or four tines.
