Every time I order takeout or have food delivered home, I make it explicitly clear to not send over plastic cutlery… not just because they’re bad for the environment (and they are) but also because the food industry is under the misconception that sporks are useful. Here’s a fact. They’re not. Designed to be half-spoon half-fork, sporks sadly fail at doing the job of either of the two… and their sibling, the splade (spoon + fork + blade) is even worse. Now I can understand why having a combination of the three pieces of cutlery makes sense if you’re in the outdoors. More items mean more chances that you forget or lose one of them, so a splade or spork, as dysfunctional as it is, is better than having to try and drink canned soup with a knife and fork because you can’t find the spoon you were 100% sure you packed.
A better solution, however, lies in Magware, a series of full-set cutlery by Mark Windsor. Rather than physically integrating pieces of cutlery into a single solution, Windsor simply attached magnets to them. Magware (a magnetically attached combination of the words magnets and flatware) allows you to carry separate pieces of cutlery, but together. The trio of flatware just snap together instantly, making sure you’re never missing an item. Moreover, you can snap multiple sets together into a single unit that’s easy to carry and distribute to your friends and family while dining. Made from food-safe 7075-T6 Aluminum, Magware are more robust and reliable (and reusable) than plastic cutlery, and frankly, are a classy upgrade too. Each piece of flatware comes with two magnetic inserts around the grip, with a recycled polypropylene cover. The polypropylene cover leaves a small gap between each piece of cutlery, preventing them from touching or scratching each other, while also giving the Magware a neat plastic-to-plastic interface that snaps together with a satisfying click. The Magware comes in a series of absolutely gorgeous anodized colors that are so beautiful you’ll WANT to ditch plastic cutlery… oh, and if you’re in the mood for some outdoor ramen, Magware has a set of magnetic chopsticks too!

Magware – Magnetic Flatware
Magware Magnetic Flatware have been designed to address a major problem facing our planet. We throw away billions of single use plastic utensils every year, and many of them end up in our Oceans and Waterways. Bring Your Own (BYO) Cutlery movement could help reduce the number of disposable utensils that get thrown away every year.
Colors inspired by nature.
The Problem
Plastics never fully break down but rather degrade into small pieces that resemble food scraps to fish and other sea animals. The Ocean Conservancy lists plastic utensils as among the items “most deadly” to sea turtles, sea birds, and other Ocean creatures due to their size and to the ease they enter our waterways.
The Bring Your Own (BYO) Movement
The same way as carrying drink bottles has started to become ubiquitous to people’s everyday lives, the hope is to see non-disposable utensils being used in the same way. Magware utensils are a simple light-weight solution to help in this mission, by making them as organized and easy to carry as possible.
Stack any number of sets together.
Create any color combinations you wish.
Hypalon Pouches
Hypalon is extremely durable, water proof, easy to clean and stain resistant. Hypalon is so tough it is the material that they make inflatable boats from. The team has used high strength velcro for the closing mechanism. The full set pouch also has a thick elastic strap attached to give it an even firmer close. Both pouches should last a lifetime.
