That Gerber LST knife is a real backpacking classic; as is Jim's Tinker SAK IMO. Jim that must be one sweet fork, Ti huh I would've thought you'd have picked up an errant shell on the beach and made a knife right quick"

I lost my LST and my first Ti fork and spoon. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> The ti fork is so light and it won't break or melt in the fire. How can I leave it home at 1/2 oz? The ti spoon also at 1/2 oz is there to measure my coffee. Probably the edge of the spoon will cut most food. I remember my grampa got me a big knife with a whole bunch of blades, a table spoon and a fork. All the other boy scouts were jealous. Then it came to be that you couldn't hold the food with the fork while you used the knife to cut it. I sadly stopped carrying it and lost it.

Actually on the camping trip with bigfoot I used an obsidian ceremonial knife with a stag horn handle for ALL cutting. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I also had a flake with me that would have cut anything. AND I can make an edge 100 times sharper than a scalpel - eye surgeons use obsidian blades.

P.S. at home I generally eat dinner with a sharp kitchen paring knife - my wife has become used to it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
