I'm not sure what "the polished bowl version" means, but it isn't a large spoon. That is true, but it is also very light and simple to clean.
I placed two orders, each of which came in an orange bag. I'd reach out to the seller to see if they can send you one.
I haven't had any issues with food sticking to the finish, but I do make a point of only getting food on the spoon's bowl and licking it off when I'm done eating, or using it to vigorously stir coffee. The surface is relatively smooth, and there aren't many ridges or crevices where food can get caught.

Every single one of them was due. What is one to make of a spoon? You can eat it if you want to. And, uh, use it to stir your coffee. And, er. br>br>Actually, this spoon appears to have been designed with a lot of thought. It's long enough to get to the bottom of a typical pre-made bag. It's pretty convenient, and you don't get curry on your knuckles, if you're not sharing a pouch (or if you're sharing a pouch with someone you love). br>br>Another clever touch is the spoon bowl's shape - It's square, which makes it ideal for scraping the last bits out of your bowl before cleaning it out with water and then "human sump" (drinking the grey water to ensure you Leave No Trace). It's a little different from most spoons in that it's angled a little higher. To get food into my maw, I have to raise my hand way above my head, so this is a "meh" for me. Or, at least, it did until I took the 10 seconds to bend it to a more ergonomic position for me. It also has a fantastic hole drilled at the end - br>br> You can hang it around your neck by tying a piece of 550 cord around it while you wait for the meal to cook/rehydrate - When it's time to eat, no more fumbling around for a spoon.
I'm not sure how you could improve on this. I only wish there were more of these in my collection. Great for hiking, but I discovered new uses for it at home, such as getting to the bottom of one of those extra large pickle jars. I'm fine without the integrated fork; it's not something I miss. If I had known about the polished bowl version when I made my purchase, I would have bought it. However, having owned the unpolished version, I'm not sure how it improves things. Nothing sticks to it, and I can't tell if the bowl is smooth, so I wouldn't pay extra for it or accept the added weight. The only negative feature I can think of is that it won't fit in my Cook pot. But I wouldn't want it to fold or collapse because those utensils are notoriously difficult to clean and are prone to catching on cooking bags. So it's perfect just the way it is.
I brought cutlery with me when I went camping or hiking. I rarely use a fork, and the long handle on this titanium spoon is ideal for mixing ingredients in pots or scooping food from a friend's plate (ha!). br>br>It *is* flimsy, as some reviewers pointed out. This Toaks spoon is delicate in order to reduce weight (and cost). If you apply too much force, it will bend. This is fine for eating, but if you need a shovel, you'll have to look elsewhere. Survival tool that actually works.
I'm now a fan of the "polished" version of the vesrion. Great lightweight spoon for cooking/eating meals from a "commercial" food pouch and for freezing bag cooking/eating. Although I prefer the version with the "polished" spoon tip because it cleans up so much easier and is smoother, this spoon is slightly lighter (if you're counting measly grams) and works just as well. It's a spoon, after all! Beware. My original spoon tip has bent and is about to break because I stuffed it in my food bag and compacted everything together, and the spoon got crushed the wrong way, folding the tip over. This happened after many years of use and numerous backpacking trips; I am still able to use it, but it will most likely break on any future trip. I did purchase a new one, and while doing so, I noticed the "polished" spoon tip version and decided to purchase it as well. It's now my go-to spoon!.
However, I can see why they offer one with a polished bowl; food tends to'stick' to the matte finish, making it difficult to keep in go-go mode. For regular hiking use, order a bag and a polished bowl.
My husband enjoys camping and hunting as well as backpacking. For these trips, he frequently buys meals from a mountain house. This spoon appeals to him because it is long enough to remove the meal from the mountain house bag without getting food on your hands. It's also extremely light.
This is a MUCH better option than using a spork if you're backpacking or camping and eating out of a bag, whether it's one of those packaged freeze dried/dehydrated meals or freezer bag cooking. For one thing, the long handle allows you to reach the bottom of the bag without getting food all over your hand, and since the food in those bags is rarely chunky, having a utensil with prongs is pointless anyway, and the regular spoon shape is much better for scraping up all the food in the bag's bottom and creases. It's also much lighter than a spork, weighing only 13 grams on my scale, and easier to clean than a spork because you don't have to clean between the prongs.
This spoon isn't quite as long as I had anticipated, but that's fine. It's a little shorter than a butter knife, with a good-sized mouth that's neither too wide nor too small. It's exactly what I was looking for. The handle is shaped like a long v, which helps to keep the weight down because it isn't solid, but it may be more difficult to grip. The orange bag in which it was delivered was appealing to me. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase.
