That little case could definitely do with a bit more space—would be so handy to tuck in a cloth or even a tiny bottle of soap. I keep my set in the garden shed, and it’s saved me from countless dirty-fingered lunches. Haven’t had a hint of rust either, just a quick rinse does the trick. Anyone tried attaching a mini carabiner to the case for easier carrying?

Used those chopsticks to stir paint for a garden marker once—worked better than I expected! Anyone else repurposed them for little jobs around the house or yard?
Completely agree that stainless steel is worlds better than those flimsy plastics—no more worrying about snapping a fork in the middle of lunch! I keep a set right on the potting bench, and it’s held up to all sorts of garden grime without any fuss. Quick rinse, wipe, good as new. Has anyone tried putting the case through the dishwasher, or does it warp?
Mine still look pretty good, but I do wrap a napkin around them to keep the clatter down inside the case. For folks who value low-fuss, reusable gear, this set seems like a winner—beats
Wrapping a napkin around the utensils is clever—I hadn’t thought of that, but the clatter can be a little distracting, especially if you’re sneaking a snack during a quiet lunch break. I agree, for those of us who love things that just work without fuss, reusables like these are a breath of fresh air. I’ve always preferred the feel of real utensils anyway; it’s those little comforts that make outdoor meals so much nicer. Have you noticed any scratching on the inside of your case over time, AquaFern1028?
Stainless steel’s reliability is hard to beat, especially when it comes to keeping things clean and safe for eating. I’ve noticed the Quatish set doesn’t hold onto odors or stains, even after herbal teas or strong-flavored foods. The only thing I’d change is, like some of you mentioned, wishing the case fit a tiny cloth for a quick wipe. Anyone managed to squeeze in a little cleaning wipe without making the case pop open?
Funny how these little sets sneak into almost every part of daily life once you’ve got them, isn’t it? I’ve ended up grabbing mine for everything from quick lunches at the park with the grandkids to impromptu picnics in the car during a rainstorm. The stainless
Quick rinse and a wipe does the trick for me too—no rust, even after herbal concoctions or sticky snacks. Ever tried tucking a slim cloth napkin inside the case?
Love hearing about the chopsticks being put to work outside of eating! Funny enough, I’ve used mine as makeshift markers for seedlings in the greenhouse—just stick ‘em in the dirt with a little garden twine and you’re sorted. It’s those tiny acts of improvisation that keep basic tools feeling indispensable. With a sturdy set like the Quatish, you’re never just limited to their “intended” purpose.
Admittedly, I’ve also used the fork end to weed out some stubborn clover seedlings, not exactly its best life but did the trick in a pinch. Stainless steel makes it resilient enough for the odd bit of abuse. There’s something satisfying about knowing a small, simple tool can pull double or triple duty when you’re in the garden or out on

It really is the little things, like having sturdy utensils on hand, that turn a minor hassle into just another part of being ready for anything. I’ve kept one of these Quatish sets tucked in my gardening bag all season and honestly, it’s made my outdoor lunches a lot less messy. Plus, not having to rely on disposable plastic makes me feel better about reducing waste. So far, no issues with scratching or rust—mine’s held up even after getting tossed around with muddy gloves and pruners.
Totally agree about the knife not being the sharpest tool, but it’s handled slicing through apples and even some homemade bread well enough. Wish the case was just a bit roomier, like a couple others mentioned—a soft cloth would be handy, especially after
