Balispork [tm]

[andygates]

The titanium spork is a damn neat thing, and the folding (that's "tactical") one is nifty in a super-compact-who-cares-about-usability gear geek way.  But the market is missing a rapid-deployment spork - the spoon/fork combo with an edge of menace.  The solution?  Balispork!  A folding butterfly knife handle containing a slim spork.  Much cooler than the flick spork (which also doesn't exist) as it takes real skill to deply before you tuck into your ramen noodles halfway up a mountain.

I haven't invented one or even put it on my project list.  This is just prior art in case I can make zillions on the idea.  As the world goes to hell in a handbasket, you have to look cool in more and more desperate situations.  Trailhead chic, baby, trailhead chic. 

And don't confuse "flick spork" with "spork flick" - a spork flick is a sports-chick flick.  Think Bend It Like Beckham.  No, really.

Hm. I'm not sure a spork that thin would be usable, but I'd buy it anyway. Now, a plain fork in a balisong handle, that would work. And then you could work on your two-handed moves, and be able to come up with a knife and fork over dinner, which earns you many-many cool points. Very Jayne Cobb.
