Lixada Titanium Long Spoon Review

Overview

The Lixada Titanium Long Spoon is about as simple as backpacking gear gets: a single piece of titanium, 215mm long, 16g on the scale, polished bowl on one end, lanyard hole on the other. It’s aimed squarely at the budget-conscious ultralight hiker who wants the reach of a long-handle spoon without paying TOAKS prices. If you eat freeze-dried meals or cook in a tall narrow pot, the form factor here is exactly right.

Performance

At 16g, the Lixada is measurably lighter than the benchmark here — the TOAKS Titanium Long Handle Spoon, which tips the scale at roughly 20g. That’s not a life-changing difference, but it’s a genuine one, and it’s notable for a spoon that costs a few dollars less to boot.

The 215mm reach is the main reason to own this over a standard-length camp spoon. If you eat freeze-dried meals, choose a long spoon. If you cook with a tall and narrow pot and eat out of it, a long handle makes eating out of the bottom half of your vessel much cleaner, and your fingers won’t brush against the oily, wet, or sticky top half sidewall of a meal bag. The Lixada does that job reliably. It handles the right length for eating food out of dehydrated meal bags and MREs and stirring foods in a pot.

The polished bowl is a genuine plus. The polished bowl with flat head gives a smooth touch, and in practice that means food slides off cleanly, it rinses fast with minimal water, and it doesn’t feel harsh against your lips — something a matte-finish bowl can’t claim. The titanium material doesn’t react with food, and there are no gaps that prevent thorough cleaning and sterilization.

Where the spoon earns more mixed reviews is the handle. The design features a long, slightly flexible handle, and that flexibility is both a consequence of keeping weight down and a trait that some users flag as a comfort issue. At least one user gave it 4 stars instead of 5, noting they don’t care for the handle and wish it were thicker — the bowl end tapers to a wider profile than the stem, so it can feel a bit spindly in a gloved hand or during a vigorous pot-scraping session. Compare this to the TOAKS, which uses a built-in handle ridge for added stiffness. The Lixada has no such refinement; it’s purely flat stock.

The lanyard hole at the base of the handle is a nice detail — it allows for convenient attachment to a key chain or carabiner. Clip it to your pack’s hipbelt loop so it’s ready at camp without digging into your lid pocket. The included drawstring sack is serviceable — small and light — though it’s on the thin side and won’t last forever. It does keep the spoon clean and ready for use, which is the whole point.

One structural limitation worth calling out: this is a fixed-length spoon. If you like to keep your utensils inside your cookware, a folding option is probably the move. At 215mm, this won’t fit inside most solo titanium pots with the lid on, so plan to stow it in a side pocket or under a lid strap.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• 16g is genuinely lightweight — lighter than comparable TOAKS and MSR options
• 215mm reach handles the deepest freeze-dried meal pouches and tall pots with ease
• Polished bowl cleans easily, comfortable mouthfeel
• Lanyard hole is a practical touch for clipping outside your pack
• Full titanium: no taste transfer, no rust, indefinite lifespan
• Includes a drawstring storage sack
• Budget price — typically under $10

Cons

• Flat, thin handle offers no stiffening ridge; can feel slightly flexible under torque
• Not foldable — won’t stow inside most solo pots with lid closed
• Handle ergonomics are purely functional, not comfortable; narrow grip can fatigue in cold or gloved hands
• Minimal bowl angle (essentially flat), which makes dredging the very bottom of tall bags slightly less efficient than bowls with an upward tilt
• Build quality is adequate but not refined; handle finishing isn’t as polished as premium brands

Who Should Buy This

This spoon is a natural fit for the weight-conscious backpacker building a budget-friendly cook kit — especially anyone pairing it with a tall, narrow titanium pot and a diet heavy in freeze-dried or rehydrated meals. Of all the budget brands selling titanium backpacking gear on Amazon, Lixada is one of the more established in the outdoor space. If you already own a TOAKS or Snow Peak long spoon, there’s no reason to switch. But if you’re equipping yourself for the first time and every dollar counts, this is a reasonable way to hit the titanium tier without the premium price.

Verdict

The Lixada Titanium Long Spoon does its one job — getting food from container to mouth over a long distance, with nothing extra added to the scale — without complaint. The handle won’t win any ergonomics awards, and it’s not a spoon you’ll marvel at, but at 16g and a sub-$10 price tag it’s hard to argue with the value. The average ultralight long spoon weighs about 0.6 oz and runs 8.7 inches; titanium long spoons are the strongest and lightest overall. This one fits squarely in that class. I’d rate it 7.5/10 — buy it, use it, and stop thinking about your spoon.
