I the Necromancer, call upon the dead to do my bidding!

Mikko! I found 'em! (link)

They come in tomato (red), slate (black), and tangerine (orange).

Picked up an orange pair from REI.

I'm liking this idea, they're pretty stiff and easy to clean (boil them and wipe them off). It's made of a nylon-polymer, doesn't state what exactly but the boiling point of it is 450 F so no worries.

Also, 2% of the sales go to the Rocky Mouintain Institute... whatever that is.

The holes tempt me to make a paracord lanyard or clip them to a carabiner and carry them everywhere I go...

EDIT: Forgot to say they were $5, $5.25 including tax for me. I definitely prefer these over the LightMyFire sporks as having a knife on the fork makes no sense...

And there's a whole carbon negative grenehouse gas emissions spiel, look it up on the site if you're interested.

Hey Mikko,

I just got these reproduction Lusikka-haarukkas in the mail....do they look accurate as far as size to the Finnish model?

The bowl of the spoon is enormous, larger than the US Mess Kit spoon...Finns must have really big mouths

Luckily the image has been distorted into respectability.

I'm still watching

do they have the stamped tower-marks in them?if not,theyre not genuine issued ones.and yes theyre quite big,the designers though that they want to speed up the eating and that private can also use it to stir up the food better,so they made it bigger.atleast to me it works perfect.swedish utensils are about the best ive used,from any issued ones.

I do like the Luha though...I can scoop up a whole potato or paddle a commando raft with it

Neil · « **Reply #39 on:** October 12, 2008, 07:52:15 PM »

well i use "kuksa" to drink tea atleast in outdoors so i use what ever i have,either SPORK or LuHa.

the only thing with metal utensils,the issue..is that as even im turnin into space age teflon etc coated pans and they are easily ruined with any scratch made with steel utensils

so thats why im intrested in those i posted in the first page of this thread.to get some other too,not just Spork/light my fire-models.

hey did you know the Luhe is designed to attacc in the mess tin´s cap when stored.atleast to me in army it was teached and the only right way to store it.

Mikko...

These?

EDIT: No, I don't actually eat boxed lunches with camping utensils... I use chopsticks! Just like all of you! I was just trying out my phone's camera.

No, but I'll do the opposite and thumbnail it.
