Pitchfork’s pleased overall with this survival kitchen utensil. 

• Stores easily and without cluttering

 User Tips and Trick

•  9” is good for stove work

 Survival Checklist

5 STARS. Reliable . . . unlocking is a single, simple move and you’re good to go; all mechanical

5 STARS. Safe . . . no bending, especially with common weight in cooking-heat conditions; silicone heads good for holding on firmly; can close heads tight together

5 STARS. Convenient . . . stores efficiently, fully operable with one hand notably by pushing down on the black hanger piece at the fulcrum and not having to engage the more awkward one-hand move of pulling on it to open
