Summary: A Utensil Too Far
Comment: Light My Fire has produced arguably the best spork, fork-spoon combination, ever made; unfortunately, they were not satisfied with this and insisted on trying to make it a knife as well. This was a bad idea for three reasons. First, the smooth side of a fork is good enough for "soft" cutting. Second, the serrations are neither long enough nor sharp enough to be much good as a knife, but they are sharp enough to damage the mouth if the wielder is careless. Third, for any serious cutting you'd need a separate knife and fork anyway. All in all it would be a much better product without the poor attempt at a knife.
However, other than this minor design flaw, it is a wonder: a genuinely useful spoon paired with a more than adequate fork in an ergonomic design, made of Teflon-friendly, heat resistant polycarbonate. Of course making the other utensil the handle of the one you are using will present difficulties if you need to switch back and forth without being able to clean it first. The only other nit worth picking is that the sunken lettering of the logo on the top of the handle and the raised lettering of the abbreviation for polycarbonate on the bottom of the handle are both annoying dirt catchers, a defining case of "too much information".
Still, for the purpose of substituting a single utensil for two, either in the great outdoors or the cubicle jungle, it cannot be beat!
Note: These items are also available in 4-packs: Light My Fire Spork 4-Pack, and there is a slightly larger model for the "large handed" (or the "large stomached"): Light My Fire Spork XM and an even larger Serving Spork: Light My Fire Serving Spork for the main dish (or for real NFL players sporking Campbell's Chunky Fully Loaded out of the Black Cans).

Summary: Campout Wonder
Comment: My son's Boy Scout troop requires that each camper bring their own knife-fork-spoon, plate and cup. No disposables allowed. The "Light My Fire" brand Spork is strong, easy-to-clean and durable. I highly recommend this product!

Summary: Don't call it a spork
Comment: The "traditional" spork never impressed me much. This thing is a spoon with a USEFUL fork on the other end and a serrated knifelike bit that might come in handy here or there. Consider - the spork's obvious habitat is eating typical backpacker food when packing, typical microwaveable foodstuffs at the office, or the stuff in your wide-mouth vacuum bottle at the field jobsite. The Light My Fire Spork fits the bill to perfection.

Summary: What to say? It's a spork.
Comment: I bought this to use with my Mr. Bento lunch kit, and I'm satisfied with it. The spoon is deep enough to be useful (larger bowl than, for example, the average plastic spoon) and the fork simply does its job. The knife edge is useful for foods that are already fairly tender (ie., tender enough to cut with the edge of a metal fork), but the limitation is that you have only a knife, not another utensil to hold the food in place (since the knife is actually the edge of the fork).
Be sure to pack a napkin, though, since it'll need a wipe when you switch between spoon and fork. The handle is a bit short, which is why I take off a star.
All in all, though, it's exactly what I was hoping it would be, and I would recommend for lunch kits, etc.

The perfectly designed outdoor eating utensil. Our spoon-fork-knife combo brings a bit of civilization to the wild and a bit of the wild to civilization. Designed especially for Light My Fire by Scandinavian designer Joachim Nordwall. The Spork is perfect for your backpack, boat, picnic basket, lunchbox, purse or briefcase.
