Are you sick of trying to eat with your nut tool? Does your canned chili always spill on your fresh prana pants? Need something pointy to claim your spot on El cap tower?

Buy a NutSpork (or NutSpoon)!

These are made in the USA (by me) with 304 heat treated 420 stainless steel. As a disclaimer, this thing works as a nut tool but the metal is not hardened and will deform if you are really cranking on it. Can bend back though. Will work on making something heat treatable if there is enough demand.

Prices:

1x $35

2x $65

4x $120

All prices include shipping within the continental US. Zelle or venmo (f & f)

I have 10 spoons and 10 sporks cut that just need to be pressed. Should be able to get them out in a week or two. Next order would be in early November.

Giant beans are way better with a nutspoon.

Even opens bottles!

And tightens 3/8" bolts!

Stick a wire gate on one side and no one will ever buy a nut tool again!

Will add that to version 2! Definitely needs a harder alloy though.

Hitting that spork with the palm of the hand to remove a nut would be painful !

Machine these bad boys out of titanium. get a marketing campaign going, go on shark tank, and you could be in for making some serious money.

Wanted to thank everyone all for the support! The nutspork has been a bit polarizing but its been exciting seeing all of the interest. Also really appreciate the suggestions, going to try to test out the wire gate for version 2. Taking to a bunch of suppliers to get quotes for making them with a heat treatable stainless alloy.

Just an update for everyone who bought them. All of the spoons and sporks are pressed, just going to do some hand filing to smooth the sharp edges. I'm aiming to drop them off at the post office tomorrow or Thursday. Looking forward to seeing you eat with them!

Moving the teeth (or spoon) to one side (rotate the teeth and/or the dish 90 degrees relative to the smacking angle) might solve the "I can't smack it" issue. It would make these handed, would also mean you might be able to have more material to make some kind of lip for improved smackage. 

That said that seems like it might be harder to fabricate, complicates a pretty simple/nifty design, and I don't know anything about the real world.

Thats a good idea, i don't think it would be that much harder to manufacture. I might draw something in CAD and see if it looks good. The smacking issue isn't actually that bad because the prongs are pretty thick. One day ill take a video of myself whipping on a bunch of nuts and attempt to extract them without drawing blood.

All the NutSpoons and NutSporks are shipped out. I’ll send tracking numbers out shortly. Thanks again to everyone who bought them! There are still 2 spoons and 3 sporks left in this batch that I could ship tomorrow.

All sold out!

Having spent a few weeks using the NutSpork I can say 10/10 would clean placements and eat beans with again. A great product that no climber should leave the ground without.

Have you thought about making custom sacks?

And naturally, they would be called… NutSacks?

The nutspoons are back by popular demand! Now made of heat treated 420 stainless steel. They are much harder to bend now. Prices are the same, all include USPS ground shipping.

1x $35

2x $65

4x $120

Venmo @karthikg with shipping address, spork/spoon, and quantity. Let me know if you need them before Christmas and I can try to accommodate. It might cost about $10 more for 2nd day air or USPS priority.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
