 Coolness Feb 08, 2010
Have not field tested the Sigg Cutlery Knife yet, however, it is very well built and good, ingenious design. I am sure it would more than suffice for most camping and outdoor expeditions.

 Great for work (and for a non-camper) Sep 25, 2009
I carried a full sized metal fork, spoon, and knife (with sheath) in my lunch bag every day for years and this 3-in-1 not only saves space but also rattling noise. I love that it comes in its own little case, too. I wish I had it a long time ago. Others have commented on the weight as it is solid steel, but it's no heavier than my cell phone or PDA. And like others I hated throwing away plastic cutlery. I don't wear it on my belt, and as I carry it in my bag I don't notice the weight. My only fear is getting so used to having it with me that I'll forget it's there when I'm going through airport security and having it taken away from me!
One of the most useful things I own. Aug 12, 2009
I bought two of these recently as gifts; I've had mine for a couple of years, and I carry it *all the time*: It's been with me in the jungles of Central America, in cities across Europe and the States, and on Mount Rainier, and it's proved useful in every situation. Solidly built, brilliantly-designed, and easy-to-carry. The knife is surprisingly sharp; the back-lock is much appreciated. As others have undoubtedly pointed out, it is a bit heavy and the spoon sticks out a bit, but these are 'deficiencies' that it more than overcomes. I wear the set daily in the included holster on my belt, and I'm still surprised how often I use it. No need to ever use rubbish 'plasticware' again: Save the environment and your self-respect by using *real* metal utensils that are reusable, won't break, and are actually pleasant to eat with!

Great high-quality tool - a bit heavy Feb 06, 2009
I just got this from Amazon 15 minutes ago, and it seems like it is going to accomplish my goal - which is to never ever use disposable plastic utensils again - close to perfectly. It is a bit on the heavy side, and the fork and knife are not like a regular "home" fork and knife, but the build quality is clearly great. Gotta love the Sigg brand! The little carry pouch is great too.
I may buy the "Optimus Titanium 3-Piece Cutlery Set" as well so that I have options, but while light, they are full-size utensils, which makes them harder to transport.
I just have to say this... I don't see any possible way that you could avoid knowing it comes apart into three utensils. First of all, the description and pictures on this page make it OBVIOUS. Second of all, the box has text and pictorial instructions on how to take it apart and put it back together. Third, handling the set for about 30 seconds leads you to realize that it comes apart, both from the look (it is CLEARLY three separately manufactured tools joined together to form one unit - much like Voltron - and it practically invites you to figure out which way to slide it apart) and the feel (the components shift a little when you manipulate). That is all.
I have yet to eat with the set, and I have the luxury of not planning on needing to clean this on the go, so there may be some issues that potentially could make this not work for me. However, I doubt it.

Too heavy, but very well made. May 06, 2008
I bought this because it seemed like a really neat tool to bring along with me while camping. I was going to be a attending a week-long music festival where i would need to supply my own plate and utensils. It also happens that everything was spread apart far enough that i had to pack my bag each morning and carry supplies for the whole day.
When i first got it i thought it was really neat.
Yes the three pieces come apart, although once you have taken them apart they are far less comfortable to grip.
I was impressed with the quality of this set, although after field testing it, i was a bit disappointed in it's functionality.
It comes with a belt holster that i thought was pretty neat. The loop is attached on both ends though, so you have to take off your belt to take off the holster. Maybe i just wear my pants loose, but i found that it was too heavy to wear on my belt, as it tended to pull down my pants. I tried putting it in my pocket, but that was even worse. It then was banished to the backpack, where it tended to get lost in the bottom, but then again so did everything else.
My other main problem was washing it. The pieces come apart for easy cleaning, but then i had no way to dry it completely before putting it back together. So many nooks! I was pretty sure that since it was steel it wasn't going to rust, but i was still concerned about germs, I was camping after all, and washing my dishes in cold water. The case is pretty secure so i wasn't sure if it would ever dry out. I ended up licking it clean and not washing it because i figured that was better than letting it sit in a puddle all week.
This is a really nice set, but it's really heavy!
The Knife cuts great, everything worked wonderfully, but it was just too heavy and too high maintenance to carry around while camping.
I ended up buying a titanium spork for the next year. light and unbreakable, and it worked great.
i Really like this folding set, it's so neat, i just don't have a use for it...
