Using your UCO Titanium Utility Spork is a breeze. You can use it just like a regular fork to stab food and the serrated edge is great for cutting through tough stuff like steak or bread. When you're done eating, if you have a dishwasher, you can simply toss it in for a quick clean. If not, a bit of soap and water will do the trick. The reusable tether is handy for many things. You can clip it to your backpack when you're on the go, or hang the spork up to dry after washing. To store multiple sporks, stack them together using the tether. Remember, although titanium is very strong, don't use it to pry open things or subject it to extreme force. This will ensure your spork stays in great shape for a long time.
