The Alphalight Spork Utensil Uses A Durable Aluminum In A Sleek-yet-strong Shape To Create An Extremely Lightweight Utensil. By Hard Anodizing The Aluminum It Forms A Kind Of "Exoskeleton," So The Utensils Can Be Slimmer And Lighter. This Hardened Shell Also Encapsulates The Aluminum, To Completely Eliminate The Risk Of The Alloy Leaching Into Food.
