Yet another definitive overview of beautifully designed, incredibly niche products that have little to no information like it elsewhere. Bravo! I was on the hunt for the best looking and functioning family camp cutlery. After your review of the Snow Peak fork/spoon set, I was quivering next to the buy button of the 12 pc set for a whopping $125. I was saved from financial destruction when Sea to Summit had a winter clearance sale on their aluminum cutlery that’s probably the closest second I could find to the snow peak at a relatively justifiable $45 for the same quantity. But maybe adding one Snow Peak set isn’t unreasonable….
As always it’s a damn pleasure to read your comments, John. An excellent score with the Sea to Summit set, I feel you dodged a bullet. I’m not sure I’ll be so lucky, the Snow Peak 12 pc set instead feels like a homing missile that’s bound to hit its target at some point in time.
Thank you for your video. Regarding the tines on the Foon and the Spork, the tips of the tines are blunt to avoid injury from accidental poking of the mouth while eating. The straight arrangement of the four tines on the Foon means that there is an even distribution of the poking pressure at their tips. On the other hand, the Spork has two central tines that project further out than its other two tines towards the periphery. This uneven arrangement of the Spork’s tines means that the two central projecting tines exert more poking pressure than its two other tines towards the periphery.
Hey, thanks so much for your pro thoughts here! Great for others who are reading the comments as well and want a little more info for the “why” behind the design. Thanks for sharing!
I have yet to find a foodstuff that my Snow Peak spork cannot conquer. I love it. It is the greatest thing I own. I can eat spaghetti, ice cream, cereal, steak, pie; no food escapes it.
I might be the only person in the world that wants this, but I would like Snowpeak to make a titanium fork and spoon patterned on the IKEA FÖRNUFT set which is my favourite flatware set. I have their spork and while I love it, as you have pointed out, you do end up needing a fork as well. Just as you concluded, at that point you might as well just get their very good fork and spoon. Great writing as always.
I just looked the IKEA set up and wow, that is actually a really neat design. I love the different prong sizes for the fork and the spoons look like legitimate soup spoons. Thank you for sharing, Corsair! Here’s to big dreams for future Snow Peak designs.
Haha..Milo, I so enjoy watching these posts of yours..Your attention to detail is intense..but I laughed out loud when the plastic ruler came out to measure the prongs! If you pay this much attention to your single, one piece purchases; I cant imagine you doing your "homework" in something with many moving parts; like a bike, or a car!?!? I'm not making fun of you Milo; you're truly amazing..haha! Keep these posts coming. Take care 😊
I better carry a foon and a spork just to make sure I have the right one for every situation 😜 seriously though, anything is better than the double ended sporks because once one end gets dirty it's hard to hold and use the other end.
Well I guess I need another spork and a fun little foon. I have that much titanium cutlery and Snow Peak takes the cake. I do wish they’d bring back the knife to the set though. Thank again Milo 😊
Yes!!! Listen to Milo Snow Peak!!! I keep my fingers and toes firmly crossed that one day the knife will be reunited with the fork and spoon 🤞 Kind of sounds like a fairytale 😂
I miss the snow peak spatula/spork combo, SCT-201. that was really great for getting every last bite out of your pot and made cleaning easier. I wish they would make one more run, I'd buy 10 or 12
I’ve never actually seen one but they look like a really clever idea. I’d definitely grab some if they brought them back. Snow peak have stopped making some really handy things and the need to bring them back.
Nice, all my life I thought sporks and foons were identical, and yet these guys actually made them different just by altering the fork to spoon ratio lol
@@milotash Guess it kinda ruins the joke of insisting sporks are superior to foons or the other way around, since it's not so funny anymore if they're no longer the same fricking thing haha
I can tell you had a ton of foon making this video. 😅 Thank you. I got a Snow Peak spork before but I would get a foon if I get the chance to do it again. Though right now for work I either bring a Nextool titanium spoon and fork set with its case or the UCO Gear plastic spork set the separates into a fork and spoon/knife.
Thank you! And hmm, I’d say metal and ceramics don’t mix well. If you’re concerned about scratches, I’d shoot for a plastic option like humangears fork and spoon set. Their plastic has been very easy on my more scratchable cookware. Hope that helps!
@@milotash thanks, lately I learned that the marks left on ceramics are from the spork itself, not that actual "scratches" of the ceramics. And to be fair, my main use case for an edc utensil is for street food, where I might not strive for that last scoop, otherwise the servingware is in various materials as well (e.g. plastic). I'm sold on the spork, but also torn between it and the spoon+fork set. And I'm not into plastic utensils, anyway thanks for the recommendation.
Hmm...was hoping for idea of how foon in the left hand works in combination with a knife in the right, but then Americans don't know how to do that 😜. I want to eliminate a traditional fork (and spoon), while still being able to attack a steak with etiquette.
