Full details
The Light My Fire Spork Original in Rocky Red is for anyone seeking a practical, all-in-one utensil for meals on the go. Its key benefit is combining a spoon and fork with a serrated edge into a single, compact item, saving space and reducing the need for multiple utensils.

This reusable spork is made from BPA-free, biobased plastic, is dishwasher safe, and safe for non-stick cookware, making it an environmentally conscious and convenient choice for lunches, picnics, and outdoor adventures.
