NewAtlas: Sleek, splittable pocket tool is the ultimate wilderness spork

Disposable plastic utensils aren’t just eco-unfriendly, they’re also flimsy and easy to lose inside gear-filled bags. The Kopak Utensil Set is designed to be a greener and more practical alternative, with a nesting, magnetic-coupling, machined-aluminum design.

Currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, the Kopak set is manufactured by Boston-based outdoor gear company Lucaya.

It consists of a serrated knife and a 4-tine spork (a spoon-fork combo), both of which are made of precision-machined, hard-anodized 7075-T6 aluminum. When not in use, the two utensils slide into one another to form a single 1.5-oz (42.5-g) oblong-shaped unit that measures 5.5 inches wide by 0.9 in wide by 0.26-in thick (140 by 23 by 7 mm).

Not the first time, or even the 30th that this has been done, but I like the way they nest together, and agree with the poster, much better than disposable.

Personally, I have a set of plastic PermaWare utensils that have served me well camping for years. Drilled a hole in each handle and ring-clip them together.
