Stop dogging the tactical spork! I got mine in Coyote Brown color to match my drop pouches. Never know when you have to quick drop it in to conduct a tactical roll. (See what I did there? A Camp Cooking thread and I said "roll." Sorta clever isn't it...because it is both a noun and a verb. Man I'm full of good material.)

Damn!! Beat me to it!! I got a couple of these things free, so... I bought a set of 10 bamboo spoons on Amazon, but I can't find them (on Amazon) right now. There are 5" children's spoons (~$7.50) and the 7" tea spoons ($7.99), but mine are, I think, longer. Anyway, I drilled a hole in the handle and put it on a lanyard so it can be "tied down" - and I haven't suffered from "taste" or anything like that. I still have the "Ka-Bar Tactical" for laughs...that's about all it's good for.

Honestly I don't mind getting a little messy when I dig down in a pouch meal. I don't carry them often, but I will pack them out for a night. We go days without cleaning up. So. I use a Light My Fire titanium. It has a little seraded edge on it so it's like 3 in 1. Yes I have used every aspect of it. I have huge hands and yes it might be a little messy on my knuckles but that's my buddy Mox's treat after he's inhaled his food. Mox is my dog. I should say I used a titanium long Spork for a while

Those look like great spoons, but the description cracked me up. "Made of Natural logs, delicate patterns, light but solid, can make the table a natural fresh breath. Simple and plain, natural and elegant , exudes the flavor of the years. ... It holds over boiling water with not crack, not broken, in summer is not hot, in winter is not ice hand, believe that served in a wooden flatware not only food , but also have the strong interest."

After many years of using a Ti SPORK, I have, after just a single use, decided that the best SPORK is a long handled, deep bowl, polished, Ti spoon. Thank you BorderCollieMike.

Now I just use an old long handled lexan spoon and a separate fork if I feel I will need a fork. I would be way too frustrated by trying to eat with a spork. Not when I'm already tired.

Any particular advantage of bamboo over titanium?

One thing to beware of with bamboo: at sub-freezing temperatures it can crack. Moisture collects inside the very porous wood, freezes, and splits apart the wood as it expands.

In sub-freezing temps, I'd take my utensils into the sleeping bag for the night, and keep them in my pockets during the day. Wouldn't want to put something metal into my mouth if it was that cold, and that would also keep wooden utensils from freezing and cracking.

Bamboo is known for not being friendly to germs and is a easily renewable resource. I thought about using bamboo for my backpacking utensil but went with the Ti polished and long handled spoon.

Yep, I backpack with a bamboo flute (actually cane, but same idea); always goes in the sleeping bag with me to prevent cracking. I'd be a little reluctant to bring a wooden eating utensil in with me, for fear of attracting animals. I realize that's probably irrational, and there's likely more food smell on my cuffs and mustache.
