I bought this as it was price attractive compared to alternatives and I wanted a spork as it's easier to grab noodles etc. out of the bottom of a food bag. I like the polished spoon. This product has all the benefits of a titanium long spoon - weight, length, hygiene, heat transfer but the spoon section is smaller than the other spork I have which is the dearer Keith brand. That's also a slightly sturdier build. When you are using this spork as a spoon for a soup, you are unable to secure much liquid and so you have to repeat many times. You tend to get what you pay for and thoughtful design always makes a difference. This is not a bad product but it could be better.
