Gerber – Devour Titanium

Monday, March 14th, 2022

Now available in TA4 Titanium the Gerber Devour weighs just 1 ounce but boasts nine functions.

One of the biggest issues with sporks is that the handles are too short for eating out of MRE retort pouches and freeze dried meal bags. The Devour’s extended handle is also textured.

Six of the functions come from the can-opener-style accessory which snaps into place on the Spork component.

? Package opener

? Can opener

? Bottle opener

? Pry bar

? Flathead driver (small)

? Flathead driver (large)

? Deep basin spoon

? Offset long tine fork

? Flat cut/scrape edge

I’ve followed True North Tradecraft for quite awhile on Instagram so it was a pleasure to finally meet Boris at Operator Expo.

The kit consists of:

• Stainless & Spring Steel

• Tension Tool

• Razor Saw

• #3E Small Diamond

• #8 Short Hook

• #6E Euro Wave Jiggler
