TravelWare

These are the TripStixx. The website describes them as "an innovative, self-contained set of detachable travel chopsticks including both banquet and sushi style tips. Personal, highly portable and hygienic."

I'm going to make essentially the same thing, but with a fork. The tip will detach from the base for easier storage into a case similar to one sunglasses come in. I also want to have some sort of slide function on the fork that will convert it into a spoon. This might give the fork a slightly unusual shape, but the functionality should make up for it.

My reasoning for this idea comes from my always forgetting a fork when I bring lunch to work. Or when I have to get food to-go from the food court and they always forget to put a fork in the bag.

TravelWare is a working title. I'm trying to incorporate the word "silverware" to let people know that these aren't one-time use. Any ideas for a name are welcome and appreciated.
