Chopstick-Attaching Sporks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Kung Foon is Made for Camping and Asian Restaurants

— April 13, 2012 — Lifestyle
The Kung Foon is a spork that attaches to chopsticks to elongate the handle for easier and more convenient use. Although similar to Hashi by Daniel Matarazzo, the Kung Foon doesn't make using chopsticks easier, but rather makes the spork a more useful utensil.

The Kung Foon may have been designed specifically for camping and other adventurist scenarios, but it can be utilized for something a little closer to home. For those who struggle to use chopsticks in Asian restaurants, the Kung Foon attaches to the top of them to become a handy Western utensil.

Great for all types of eating emergencies, the Kung Foon is available in either stainless steel or a lighter and stronger titanium model.
