Bambaw Bamboo Cutlery Set Review

Sadly, a few weeks ago my To-Go Ware bamboo cutlery set disappeared while I was on a trip.  It was a great set and I’d been using it for a couple years as my office set to avoid plastic utensils.  Just toss it in your backpack, purse or messenger bag and its always there when you need it.

I considered just reordering the same set, I really wanted a straw too since those are now realized as a major issue in plastic waste.   That lead me to Bambaw on Amazon and decided to give their set a try once it was finally back in stock (apparently it is rather popular).

The Bambaw set is a bit bulkier than my previous To-Go Ware set.  Like the To-Go Ware, it has its own carrying solution.  In this case, a canvas “roll case” with individual sleeves to keep each utensil in place.  Unlike the To-Go Ware set, the Bambaw knife is serrated which makes it more effective.  Finally, the Bambaw replaces the chopsticks found in the To-Go Ware set with a straw and, in  a really nice touch, a cleaning brush for it.

Honestly, I would recommend either set for someone looking to reduce their plastic waste.  The real choice depends on which is more important to you, a straw or chopsticks and a slightly smaller/lighter form factor.
