Zpacks Titanium Short Handle Spoon

The Zpacks Titanium Short Handle Spoon is a single-piece titanium eating utensil built for ultralight backpackers who count grams on even the smallest gear. At 11.1 g and 15.2 cm (about 6 inches) long, it is short enough to reach into a dehydrated meal pouch or a narrow pot while adding almost nothing to a cook kit's total weight. Titanium is stiff and rigid compared with plastic sporks, so the spoon doubles as a scraper for stuck-on food and can cut through soft items without bending or flexing. Unlike wood or plastic alternatives, titanium won't absorb odors or flavors between meals, and it holds up to repeated boiling-water contact and years of trail use without corroding. It is a fixed, non-folding single spoon rather than a multi-piece set, which keeps it simple but means anyone wanting a fork or knife needs a separate utensil.
