It is a stainless steel, folding spoon-fork combination issued together with a mess kit in the Finnish Army. It is widely used in camping and outdoors activities. The spoon portion is a slightly oversized soup spoon which makes it useful for stirring when the mess kit is used to cook rations in the field. The Finnish army conscripts are allowed to carry their civilian puukkos (knives) while in uniform, and everyone is assumed to own one, so a separate knife is not needed.
