- Durable nylon and stainless steel construction
- Effectively reaches bottom of deep meal bags
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Slightly heavier than some basic non-folding options
- Bulkier than titanium long-handle spoons when extended
- Not available in a fork or spork version with the same lock
Spork Original BIO
- Bio-based material offers a more sustainable choice
- Extremely lightweight and packable, fits anywhere
- One-piece design, nothing to break or lose
- Very affordable and widely available
- Doesn't scratch non-stick surfaces
- Plastic construction can break under stress
