I love these so much
These chopsticks give me life. They’re pretty, sturdy, and easy to hold. The square shape really makes them sit well in my hands. The weight of them being metal instead of wood or plastic feels just like any other silverware so nothing I’m not used to. They’re on the longer side, longer than disposable wooden ones you get from takeout, so they may take a bit of getting used to if you're not already. But again, the square shape makes them easier to hold in my opinion, even with them being long. And the textured pattern on the tips are supposed to make it easier to pick up and hold food - I’d say I can’t really tell a difference, but that’s just me. Maybe I’m just bad at picking up noodles in general lol. Regardless, the pattern is visually neat so that’s something. And so far they’ve been perfectly fine in the dishwasher. My silverware caddy in the dishwasher has a little thing to fold down over one of the compartments, almost like a lid that has smaller slots to keep items separated, which happens to be perfect for chopsticks. So they’re much easier to clean than my wooden ones which are hand wash only and stained after the first use. Arrived in nice packaging, each set was individually wrapped inside the pretty black box. I now use that box as a catch-all in my silverware drawer for all my chopsticks and reusable sporks. One caution though. These are metal, obviously. So that means if your food is hot, and you have the tips of the chopsticks sitting in that hot food, the metal will be hot in your mouth. Idk why, but for some reason that didn’t occur to me the other day when these were chillin in my hot ramen broth before I took my first bite and dang near burned my lip. So just be careful I guess lol
