GSI Lexan Cutlery SPOTLITE REVIEW

Overview

If a titanium spork doesn’t do it for you, and a plastic take-away spoon seems a bit inadequate as well, consider some of the GSI Lexan cutlery. The handles are very generous in size, but the weights are very low: so much so that trimming the handles seems futile. The price is wonderful. And being made of Lexan, they are remarkably robust.

They come in several colours, and you don’t have to buy the lot, just the ones you want. The only limitation seems to be that you can’t carve the family roast with the knife, although the serrations are enough to cut things like bread and cheese.

(Note that the prices and weights shown on the GSIoutdoors.com web site seem to be out of date, as are the weights on older packaging.)
