Here at Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) we're inspired by great design. Our I.D. Works® products are not tools you will find anywhere else. We're motivated by design that is both inspired and functional, as created 500 years ago by painter, sculptor, architect, and inventor Leonardo da Vinci, who said "observe everything" in nature. We've partnered with the best and brightest designers of today who share this vision of putting functional art in your hand. They are organic and ergonomic shapes, sometimes whimsical, always useful. These unique tools make up our growing I.D. Works® line. Put them to use, enjoy them, and always remember what inspires you!
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.
Yes, there is an ergonomic spoon, and a short-tuned fork. But 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.
The large central hole is not only designed for finger gripping, but also keeps the Eat'N Tool weight down. Three metric wrench reliefs (10 mm, 8 mm, 6 mm) are useful for emergency repairs, and result in a tool weight of just 1.5 ounces (43 g).
For easy snap-on carry on D-rings or loops on clothing and packs, there is a carry carabiner (non-weight-bearing).
The Eat'N Tool is available in a bead-blast finish (9100C), or with a food grade black non-stick coating (9100KC).
I received the Eat'n Tool in an anonymous care package while deployed with the military to Afghanistan. It is a great tool that I will always have in my pack on future missions. I have now ordered several for friends who hunt and camp. Thank you for making such a great tool and a big thank you to the anonymous donor for sending such a practical gift

Went in with a few guys from the office to cut down on the shipping cost. Everybody loved them. They travel well, clean up well, and the fork works just fine even though the prongs look a little short.

dear crkt
i have seen a lot of "sporks" that were way more expensive and not half as well designed as mr.mah's. i gave all the lifeguards i work with one of them and they were universally stoked about them. if there are two things hawaii lifeguards love it is being in the water and eating in the tower...the greatest location in the world. thanks you so much for this inexpensive tool that is so low tech and high tech at the same time. much mahalo, sean gallagher water safety officer II.

My husband travels around a lot, for his job he was always complaining the he would be missing a spoon or fork for his food. The Eat'N Tool is perfect for him, as he can keep it on his belt. Great idea

I haven't had it very long, but it appears to be very well made. My work involves travel to some remote areas so it will be useful to have "just in case". I actually bought two and sent one to my son who is a US Marine (he's good about keeping the plastic MRE spoons) and he will put it to good use on deployments. It is definitely handy and easy to carry. I just would have liked to handle one first as I would like to compare the 'bead blast' finish with the 'teflon finish'.
