KA-BAR Tactical Spork & Knife

Awesome product. Very durable.

It seems that everyone makes a spork nowadays. Plastic, titanium, zinc, aluminum, stainless. You name it, they've made it into a spork. Sporks have been around since the late 19th century. Now, even Ka-bar makes a spork. Being a Former Marine and Ka-Bar fanboy I just had to have one or two. You never know when you need to hunker down and kill off a can of spam while hunting zombies to replenish your internal engine. This spork is made from Grilamid FWA, a high-strength, technical polymer. It's food safe and UV resistant. Apparently the plastic is made by the same company that makes Grivory plastics, which is common among knife manufacturers, especially Ka-Bar. The spork is lightweight with a proper fit & finish. I detected no burrs or excessive mold marks. Removing the knife was easy provided you grab the spork towards both ends and not the middle. There was no wobble or excessive movement when the spork was in it's closed position. The knife does a decent job cutting beef, chicken, and spam. It's a bit short to get any leverage when making long cuts in a steak as I had to place my index finger along the top spine of the blade. The blade is too narrow for spreading jams or butters, the spork end worked better. The spork, itself, works adequately enough. The tines are short and somewhat dull. I found that sharpening them up with a bit of emery board worked wonders. The bowl of the spoon is small for liquid soups, but works well on stews and beans. Traditionally, sporks have never worked well on soups. Drinking soup from a can, canteen, or cup/mug always works the best. Clean-up is easy. The plastic should handle temps up to 60°C. Safe for dishwashers, but the spork is light and might fly around. All-in-all, this is a decent spork. It's light and packs well. The plastic is very tough and should hold up better than a metal spork. Although the knife works, it's best to use your EDC knife along side the spork. While there are many choices for sporks, this is one of the better ones. It's all-inclusive in one small, lightweight package. Using the knife against zombies is just and added bonus.

Picked this up mostly out of curiosity—and maybe a little because it’s called a tactical spork. I mean, how could I not? Turns out, it’s actually way more useful than it has any right to be. The spork itself is solid—sturdy enough to handle camp meals without bending or snapping like those sad plastic forks from gas station chili cups. The hidden knife inside the handle is a neat touch too. It’s not razor-sharp, but it’ll cut through a sausage or a stubborn power bar wrapper just fine. Feels more “utility blade” than “survivalist weapon,” which honestly is what I was going for. Couple of minor gripes keeping it from a perfect score: The handle twist to access the knife is a little stiff at first. Took me a minute (and almost a chipped nail) to figure it out. It’s not super lightweight, so ultralight backpackers might want something slimmer. Still, if you're into camping, emergency kits, or just like the idea of eating your trail stew with something that looks like it came out of a spy movie, this thing is a fun and functional buy. Might even keep one in my glove box—you know, just in case I need to eat and survive a spork duel at the same time.

Good quality. Hard plastic. Very sturdy knife is plenty sharp enough to cut steak. Dishwasher safe. Keep it handy.

Bought this for travel and at work. Easy to use. Durable light weight and sturdy. Will buy again couple more.

They used to make these with a metal knife. Now it's all molded plastic. Despite that, it is a must-have in your EDC bag. You just never know when you're going to need a spork and knife. Lol

The spork is the embodiment of the term “design compromise”: design that takes features away until no one is happy. This model is no exception, but what it lacks in salad compatibility, it gains in a handy, if not a bit small knife and looks really cool. The fork gets low marks due to the tines being so short and blunt. I’m not sure who would reach for a spork when they have a salad, but whoever they are, they will be disappointed with this one. As a spoon, it operates ok, that is, if portion control is your goal. I did eventually make it through a bowl of cheerios, but I did get impatient and have to resort to drinking it at the end. Eating a casserole proves to be annoying due to food getting trapped in the overly concave spoon cavity. For being a plastic knife, this actually works really well. The handle is a bit short for my large hands. And although an orange peel is not much of a test, I had no trouble cutting through this one. You can handwash the spork, or run it through the dishwasher. The small port, which I assume is to help dry out the handle, is a perfect catch for all kinds of food, and is hard to clean by hand. And a little divot that appears to be a manufacturing aide traps bits of food as well. This weighs around 35 grams, or about an ounce and a quarter. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but when compared to my titanium spork, which weighs just 15 grams, it’s a little disappointing. In fact, just the spork part of the ka-bar weighs about the same as the whole titanium spork. Being a composite knife, it is quite sturdy. It does have a bit of flex to it, but even with quite a bit of force, I didn’t feel like it was going to break. However, given that it is plastic, I won’t be using this to do any cooking while camping. This is for consumption only. The attachment of the knife to the spork is quite good. The two halves stay locked together very well and the reattachment happens with a satisfyingly positive click. In the end, this is a fun novelty. If you’re into the comically tactical scene, this does not disappoint. I’m happy to have paid $5.29 plus tax for this bit of entertainment, and may even buy more as gag gifts for friends. But for its utility, I would rate this mediocre at best. Certainly better than a cafeteria spork, but not by much.

These should be in everyone’s backpack. KA-BAR quality, durability and functionality… in a spork and knife.

My favourite travel sppon, carry it everywhere in my glove box for that sudden impact of cake

Nice compact KFS. The fact it comes apart meant it would fit into my mess tins easily. When assembled it was a good length for digging into ration packs. Although it is made from plastic, the knife is very sharp and strong. I did not find a use for a knife on this trip but I am sure it will be a good back up. Is it better than plastic cutlery which is a fraction of the price? Well, yes, it will last a long time, not sure its worth the asking price though, so four stars for its value.

Es bastante ligero y se siente resistente, el único detalle es que el cuchillo es de plástico pero también se siente con buena resistencia.

樹脂自体はしっかりしていて、ナイフで肉を切るには問題ありません。 スプーンは500円玉程度の大きさでスープは掬ったりできません。 また、赤ちゃん用のスプーンほど小さいのでカレーとかを食べると 匙の中を舐りきれないことになります。 軽くて丈夫なので、割り切って使うのが良いと思います。 大人が使っている情景は少しかわいいかも。
