- Victorinox Compact
- humangear Spin collapsible spork
- Silicone band as a wallet, carrying cards, cash and a Rite in the Rain notepad
This is pretty typical for me. If I'm traveling very light I may leave the spork at home and carry a Victorinox Manager. If I'm going to be out and about for a while I usually have Knipex Cobra XS pliers and may swap the knife to a Victorinox Explorer.
I'm pretty happy with this new spork. I've kept a humangear Uno in my bag for general use and I like how sturdy and simple it is. The new Spin model locks open to the same length as the Uno but closes down very short for more compact stowing.
Genuine question: how often do you use the spork? I feel like it's a pretty rare occurrence for me to be out and about thinking to myself "fuck I wish I had some silverware right now"
Ha! My kingdom for some flatware!
Yeah, it's not often. Normally a few times per month probably. More often than the bottle opener and less than the scissors.
In a normal day it's only in my pocket if I know I'll need it, hoping to avoid disposable utensils when I'm already planning to eat in a setting where that would be the default. It's on me every day when I carry a bag or a backpack.
I also travel a good bit. When I'm on the road it gets used at least once per day - often multiple times in a day.
