    You (everyone) will hate this entire comment, but my aforementioned favorite aluminum spoon comes from a Czech army surplus cutlery set. I hate the other utensils, but just think how fucking amazing it is that this is a set which belongs together:

    Why is the spoon so ornamental and aluminum? Why is the knife steel with a plain plastic handle? Why is the fork so fucking weird with a different ornamentation (aluminum too, btw)? This is a set for soldiers. Fancy is good and all but why is it so mismatched? So many questions.

    This specific picture isn’t mine by the way. I’d never allow a fork that horribly misshapen to live in my house.

        Ironically, they’re the least stabby ones I own. I assume specs for these vary greatly however. They’re not the higest quality controlled things on earth by any measure.
