Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Solo carp anglers and day-ticket regulars. The single set gives you the basic eating and brew-making tools without filling a rucksack pocket.
- Anglers fishing with a mate or small group. The Twin Pack and Four Pack options make it easy to kit out more than one person with matching cutlery.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers who only eat straight from packets. If your menu is all boil-in-the-bag meals and plastic spoons, this will be more kit than you need.
- Big groups needing a full camp kitchen. This is cutlery rather than a complete cooking setup, so pans, plates and mugs still need sorting separately.

- Each individual set contains a knife, fork, spoon and long-handled teaspoon.
- The utensils are made from a single piece of 304-grade stainless steel.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The RidgeMonkey DLX Cutlery Set is proper tidy tackle for anyone who wants decent reusable cutlery on the bank. The one-piece 304-grade stainless steel build should shrug off regular campsite abuse, while the dark grey anodised coating gives it a smarter look than a handful of mismatched kitchen drawer bits.
There’s no clever gadgetry here, and that’s the point. It’s simple, easy to clean and packs away in the supplied neoprene pouch. Buy the right pack for your crew and it’s a cracking little upgrade for breakfasts, boil-ups and evening meals beside the bivvy.

Single-piece 304-grade stainless steel, a scratch-resistant coating and a storage pouch make this feel properly suited to regular bank use.
It covers the everyday jobs of eating and making drinks without unnecessary faff.
It won’t directly improve your rigs or bites, but better camp comfort can help make long sessions more enjoyable.
The four-piece layout is obvious, the pouch keeps everything together and dishwasher-safe cleaning is a real bonus.
It offers durable reusable cutlery and useful pack choices, with the best value likely coming from anglers who use it regularly.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the RidgeMonkey DLX Cutlery Set
There’s something properly satisfying about opening your cook bag and finding a matching set of cutlery waiting inside. No bent plastic fork. No mystery teaspoon borrowed from the kitchen. No rummaging around in the bottom of a carryall while the kettle’s already boiled. The RidgeMonkey DLX Cutlery Set keeps that side of camp life nice and simple.
Each set gives you a knife, fork, spoon and long-handled teaspoon. That covers the usual bank menu rather nicely, from a bacon roll and beans to a decent evening meal after the rods have been quiet all afternoon. The teaspoon is especially handy for stirring a brew, mixing a hot drink or reaching into a deeper mug without dunking your fingers. Small detail, but a dead handy one.
The utensils are made from a single piece of 304-grade stainless steel. That’s the sort of construction you want in tackle that’s going to live in a holdall, get shoved into a cook kit and spend plenty of time around hot food and steaming drinks. There are no obvious separate handles or joins to catch grime, which keeps the whole thing feeling clean and straightforward.
RidgeMonkey has finished the set in a dark grey anodised coating. It gives the cutlery a more purposeful look than plain shiny steel, and the coating is scratch resistant for a bit of extra protection during normal camp use. It also ties in nicely with the brand’s wider dark, modern tackle style, without plastering the logo all over your dinner.
That said, this isn’t a magic force field. Any coated bit of kit can pick up marks if you chuck it in with sharp tools, metal stove parts or a handful of loose terminal tackle. Keep it in the supplied pouch and it should stay looking bob on for longer. That pouch is a simple touch, but it stops the set rattling around and makes it much easier to grab when the munchies kick in.
Cleaning is another big tick. The DLX Cutlery Set is dishwasher safe, so you can give it a proper clean when you’re back home instead of leaving yesterday’s chilli welded to the spoon. On the bank, a wipe or rinse will do the job, but having an easy deep-clean option matters when you’re doing several nights or heading straight from one session to the next.
There are three pack choices: 4-piece, 8-piece and 16-piece sets. In practical terms, one individual set is four utensils for one person, while the Twin Pack and Four Pack give you enough matching kit for two or four anglers. That makes the buying decision pretty painless. Solo overnighters don’t need to lug four of everything, while a shared social or family trip won’t be stuck passing one fork around.
For carp anglers, this is the sort of unglamorous upgrade that earns its place quickly. It won’t put more fish on the mat, obviously, but it can make a long session feel less scruffy and more comfortable. A decent meal, a hot brew and kit that packs away neatly all help you stay settled in the swim. When bite-time arrives and the rods are off, you’ll be glad the washing-up gear isn’t a complete faff.
The main thing to remember is what you’re buying. This is a cutlery set, not a full cook station. You’ll still need your own plate or bowl, mug, pan and stove. But as a reusable, compact and matching eating set, the RidgeMonkey DLX is a cracking answer to a very ordinary bank-side problem: how to eat properly without raiding the kitchen drawer before every session.

Our take
The bank-life angle
Good camp cookware doesn’t need to be flashy. It needs to do the job, wash down without a faff and survive being chucked in a brew kit. That’s exactly where this set makes sense.
What you’re buying
Simple camp cutlery, done properly
The DLX Cutlery Set contains a knife, fork, spoon and long-handled teaspoon. Every utensil is made from a single piece of 304-grade stainless steel, giving the set a straightforward, durable feel for regular bank and campsite use.
A dark grey anodised coating adds the distinctive RidgeMonkey look. It’s scratch resistant and the subtle branding keeps the set smart without turning your dinner into an advert. The supplied neoprene pouch keeps the pieces together in your cook bag.
Worth knowing. One set means one knife, one fork, one spoon and one teaspoon. The 8-piece Twin Pack contains two complete sets, while the 16-piece Four Pack contains four. Check the pack size before ordering.
Best on the bank
A neat fit for organised anglers
Solo anglers will get the most obvious benefit from the single set. It gives you everything needed for normal meals and brews without taking up much room. Keep it with your stove and food, and it’s ready whenever hunger gets the better of you.
The Twin Pack is a sensible shout for fishing with a mate, while the Four Pack suits family trips, socials and shared camp kitchens. Matching kit also makes it easier to see what belongs in the cook bag when everyone is packing down in a hurry.
It’s less useful for anglers who never eat proper meals on the bank. If you only neck a shake and grab a takeaway on the way home, a full stainless set might feel like unnecessary luggage. For anyone who enjoys a hot meal after a long night, though, it’s spot on.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know
Is it easy to clean? Yes. The set is dishwasher safe, so it can have a proper clean at home after a muddy or food-heavy session. That’s a big improvement over disposable cutlery, which can snap, bend or leave you scrabbling for replacements.
Will it fit a normal cook kit? The pieces are designed as compact camp cutlery, and the neoprene pouch helps keep them together. Exact space will depend on your bag, stove and cookware, but it’s a much tidier solution than carrying loose household cutlery.
Worth knowing. The anodised finish is scratch resistant, not scratch-proof. Store the set in its pouch and avoid chucking it loose alongside sharp stove accessories or tools.

Our read: verdict. The strongest reasons to choose it are one-piece 304-grade stainless steel construction and scratch-resistant dark grey anodised finish; the main trade-off is the standard single set only covers one person.
