It’s called the Eat'N Tool and it's from the folks at Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT). To quote their website: “We're inspired by great design. Our I.D. Works products are not tools you will find anywhere else. They are organic and ergonomic shapes, sometimes whimsical, always useful. Our new Eat'N Tool is the brainchild of New York City designer Liong Mah. At first glance it looks like the familiar spoon/fork "spork" combination, but Liong has used his ingenuity and computer-aided design skills to create a lightweight, high-tech outdoor tool.” Although this gizmo doesn’t have a cutting edge, it has a lot of other features. There is an ergonomic spoon, and a short-tuned fork. In addition, there's a handy bottle opener on one side. The right side of the handle is ground to provide an emergency screwdriver blade, which will also work as a pry for opening canisters. A large hole in the center is not only designed for finger gripping, but also keeps the Eat'N Tool weight down. But wait, there’s more! There are thrree metric (10 mm, 8 mm, 6 mm) wrench openings, useful for emergency repairs, provided you need metric. The tool weight is just 1.5 ounces. It comes with a snap-on carry on D-ring. The Eat'N Tool is available in a bead-last finish (9100C), or with a food grade black non-stick coating (9100KC). Do a web search and you’ll find it as low as $4.
