TOAKSTitanium Long Handle Spoon with Polished Bowl

The media could not be loaded. This titanium long handle spoon has quickly become a favorite in my backpacking kit. Weighing just 17 grams on my scale (a bit lighter than the listed 19g), it’s incredibly lightweight!The extended handle is awesome—perfect for reaching into both small and tall meal bags without getting hands messy. It also works great for eating out of a taller thermos!Highly recommended for anyone who values lightweight durable gear.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:These are great to use to eat dehydrated meals. I use these traveling, camping, backpacking, motorcycle rides in cooler weather, etc. Very light weight for backpacking and where weight can be an issue. Also, very sturdy

Sturdy enough for me! Smooth bowl is nice. Long handle reaches the bottom of MRE's, canteen cook pots, AND peanut butter jars when they're almost empty! I call that functional.

This might be my new favorite camping item. It's true what they say, it's the little things that make all the difference. I spent years using the cheap MSR and equivelent cheap $.89 plastic ware. They're nice because you can lose them, break them, give them away and it doesn't hurt. But they've never been 'great', just 'okay'. Id always have food on my fingers after getting into a mountain house or backpacker pantry food bag. Food always sticks to them, too, so cleaning is again, just 'okay'. This spoon is lightweight, thin, and long. I dont just use it for eating, I use it for scooping coffee beans into my hand burr grinder, I use it to stir the coffee in the AeroPress. It works great for a lot of things. And another positive that I didn't even know I'd notice or appreciate, the polished end. It's awesome. Nothing sticks to it, and it kinda feels amazing in your mouth, as odd as that sounds.Long review update, still awesome. I ended up buying 2 of the spoons and 2 of the sporks. They all sit flush together with a rubber band and makes an easy and low-profile 2-person "place setting." The spork is good for noodles like ramen, dehydrated spaghetti, fettuccini, et al. I love them both. A bit of an investment over other things that will get the job done but, for the ease of use I find it totally worth it.

This is the best lightweight backpacking spoon available for getting into those tall freeze dried dinner pouches. Checks all the boxes....lightweight, simple, strong, good mouthfeel, grippy handle. I have used Lexan spoons in the past, but the Toaks Titanium beats those hands down!

This is a great spoon, is lightweight and cleans up very easily. Having a long spoon is nice when eating a dehydrated meal from a bag. I did learn on a recent hiking trip that the polished spoon has a coating that can be destroyed by direct contact with fire which makes the spoon unusable. Be careful about that and this spoon will provide a long life of use on the trail!

I started looking for a long-handled spoon because some things are done better with a spoon than a spork--for example spooning coffee grounds into a filter or tea leaves into an infuser. This TOAKS spoon uses lightly thicker 1.2mm titanium than the other brand selling an otherwise identical Ti spork, which also costs 50% more, and which is only 0.8mm thick. The TOAKS spoon and TOAKS spork are listed as 8.5" long, and measured exactly that. Both the TOAKS and the otherwise identical more expensive spork are exactly the same 8.5" length, as you can see in the photos (photos are of the sporks but the spoon is the same). That other one is claimed to be 9" (it's not). The slightly thicker 1.2mm titanium sheet the TOAKS is made from results in a more sturdy feeling spoon, the bowl especially, than the 0.8mm otherwise identical spork which flexes more. The TOAKS spoon weighs 19.2g while the the other brand's thinner metal spork weighs 15.1. You can also see in the photos that the TOAKS handle fluting has softer edges in the transition between flat section and fluting, though there no functional difference that results other than TOAKS being stiffer due to the more substantial construction. (For comparison, a Snow Peak Ti spoon is 2mm thick titanium sheet, though they do not offer a long-handled one.)The polished bowl is a nice touch and makes it feel like normal silverware in the mouth.The TOAKS Ti long handled spoon and TOAKS spork are for using with those deep bags you eat reconstituted freeze dried meals from. It's much more appetizing than it sounds once you're out there in the woods at evening, and you can find delicious freeze dried meals now. Reaching into those deep bags with a regular spoon or fork and the annoyance of getting food on your hand from the side of the bag is the reason someone said why not make a long spoon or spork. This special use is nice, and important for some who use these meals, but I find it useful for all functions I'd use a spoon/fork/spork for.

The spoons bowl is polished smooth and very nice for your mouth. Perfect for reaching in a backpacking meal pouch and weighs next to nothing. Would buy again
