This has to be easily in the top ten of the most ridiculous uses of titanium ever. Talk about a status symbol. Why don't you just go to your local chinese restaurant and get bamboo chopsticks for free? Besides that, who beyond a native of Asia would rather not use a spork or spoon when backpacking? If I remember correcty these were even given a gear of the year award by backpacker mag a few years ago.

So what items have you run across in the UL market that is a scam, status symbol, rubbish, or altogether useless. Cast your votes. $30 bucks for chopsticks???? I volunteer to market my Ti tent stakes with duct taped sticks on the ends to all of those suckers that grew up in the people's republic of Boulder. Heck I'll even throw in some North Face stickers for twenty five bucks!
