    Thanks bikebum. The top one was my first attempt at a spoon, and was a present for my wife. My daughter was jealous so I made the other one for her. They're both just over 6 inches long.

    If weren't backpacking and didn't need to carry it I'd buy the next size up from the one you've linked to. More economical per gram of gas.
