Folding cutlery set made of stainless steel: spoon, fork, knife

Foldable cutlery set made of stainless steel 304, 3 pieces: spoon, fork, knife, 80 g, with case — spoon, fork and knife of full length 15 cm, with a wire handle that folds under the tool head: when unfolded these are ordinary household utensils, when folded — three flat “blades” about 9 cm long that fit into a cauldron pocket, mug or chest pocket. The hinge is fixed with a sliding collar: slide it onto the joint — the handle won’t fold during eating, slide it back — the utensil folds up. Deep spoon, 15 × 4 cm; fork with four prongs, 15.2 cm; knife with rounded blade, 15.5 cm, — spreads, cuts bread, cheese, canned meat and boiled potatoes, safe in a pocket. SUS 304 steel — the same as in kitchen utensils: doesn’t rust, doesn’t retain odor, dishwasher safe. The entire set — 80 g, stored in a textile case included in the kit.

This is the lightest and cheapest complete set in the Thermoses, dishes and cutlery section. For porridge and soup at 33 g — spoon-fork with carabiner; for those who need a knife with serrated edge and bottle opener — set that fastens into one bar. Folded utensils are hidden in a pot together with folding burner 3200 W and threaded cartridge 100 g.

Instructions for use

1. Before first use, wash the utensils with detergent.
2. To unfold: slide the collar to the end of the handle, flip the wire handle in line with the head, slide the collar back to the joint until it stops — the device is locked.
3. Eating. Cut with the knife on a board or pot lid; remove canned meat from the jar with a fork or spoon, not with a knife.
4. After eating, rinse and wipe; slide the collar, fold the handle under the head.
5. Fold three devices into the case; place the spoon in the pot with the handle down so the tines don’t scratch the coating.

The collar should move with light effort; if it moves stiffly after washing in salt water — rinse with fresh water and dry. Do not lubricate the hinge — oil collects dirt. Do not use the knife to break ice or open cans: the blade is thin.

Safety

Steel utensils: fork tines are sharp — do not carry separately in a pocket, only in a case. Table knife with a rounded blade, but the edge can cut — cut away from yourself. Before eating, check that the coupling is at the joint: an unfixed handle folds under load, and a spoon with hot soup tips over. After stirring on the burner, utensils are hot — hold by the wire handle, do not touch the head. Do not clean with abrasives; do not store wet utensils in a closed case.

Characteristics

Frequently asked questions

Does the handle collapse during eating?
No, if the sleeve is moved to the joint: it covers both the head and the handle, and the hinge does not work. The device folds only after the sleeve is moved away.

How is it different from a set that is fastened into a bar?
The weight is almost the same (80 and 74 g), but this one folds in half — 9 cm instead of 16 — and comes in a case; the knife here has no serrated edge and no bottle opener. The set in a block — for those who need to cut lard and sausage and open bottles; folding — for those who care about size in a pocket.

Does the knife cut?
Bread, cheese, cooked vegetables, canned meat, butter — yes. Raw sausage and lard — difficult, the blade has no serrated edge and no sharp sharpening to be safe in a pocket. For this you need a hiking knife.

Does it rust?
304 steel — kitchen stainless steel, withstands salt, acid and dishwasher. The only place where dirt accumulates is the hinge: rinse and dry after a hike.

Is there a case?
Yes, a textile case is included in the kit; three folded utensils do not rattle or scratch each other.

Can you stir food on the burner?
Yes, the steel is heat-resistant; the wire handle heats up more slowly than a solid one, but do not leave the utensil over the flame.
