THE MUNCHER – Titanium Multi Utensil
There’s a lot of multi tools out there, as well as a lot of sporks and other eating utensils all made of Titanium, heck, I’ve got one here on my desk at OR HQ, so it’s hard these days to stick out from the rest of the tool and cutlery, maybe The Muncher from Full Windsor has managed it.
Here’s more information from their Kickstarter page:
The world’s most functional Camping Titanium Multi Utensil. Made from aerospace grade titanium weighing just 0.7oz / 20 grams.
The Muncher packs a punch with 10 functionalities. Made from AEROSPACE GRADE TITANIUM, it is amazingly strong and light-weight at just 0.7oz / 20grams. The ideal companion on any trip where weight and space are a consideration. The Muncher’s versatility makes it an everyday carry for any adventurer or traveller, be it camping in your back yard to backpacking around the world.
Both spork and serrated knife are highly polished for an easy to clean finish. Because it is made of titanium, you will experience no metallic smell or taste. Also, it does not rust like other metals.
A Hypalon pouch keeps the utensil safely stowed away. The carabiner allows it to be attached almost anywhere for safe keeping. The pouch stores a ferrocerium fire starting flint that can be used in conjunction with the angled edge of the can opener to create a spark to get your fire going wherever in the wilderness you might be.
In the middle of the utensil you will find a bottle opener which also functions as a handy potato peeler. Next to this is a can opener and chord cutter. The end of the utensil can be used in a variety of ways, be it a flat head screw driver, ply-bar for opening lids or even a box cutter for opening food packaging.
The Idea
With the “Kiwi No.8 wire mentality” (basically you can fix anything with a piece of fencing wire) Mark (Full Windsor founder) looked into how he could reduce the amount of gear you need when heading out into the whop-whops / outdoors / wilderness / whatever you wanna call it. He decided the spork was a great jumping off point, but surely more could be done! Listing the most commonly used tools involved around food and its preparation whilst in the middle of nowhere, he began the design process.
About Us
With functionality at the top of the checklist, every function of the multi utensil had to work great in its own right. With weight also being a major consideration, titanium was an obvious choice of material. After a year and a half of design and hundreds of tweaks later The Muncher (or the “Kiwi Army Spork” as we like to call it) was born.
