Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Don't expect the likes of these futuristic chopsticks with your next order of Chinese carryout. These glistening black-matte, zinc-tipped pointers would be more suitable for an upscale dinner of trendy Pan-Asian cuisine. They're weightier than the traditional wood type--maybe even a little too top-heavy for good balance--and the notched tips are more about style than function. But never mind, you're buying these showy utensils to express your cutting-edge taste. --Patricia Draher

4.0 out of 5 stars Sleek and elegant, but a little top-heavy., August 20, 2000

I bought these chopsticks for my brother-in-law and his wife, who live in a very modern-style home. These chopsticks matched their decor well, but they require a bit more attention when eating, due to the weight at the top (while resting the chopsticks in your hand, they tend to fall back). They are also a little harder to maneuver due to the square-ness of the sticks in itself. Otherwise, they are very nice and well made.

Contrary to dc's review, chopsticks with grips are indeed sold and used commonly in Japan, and probably elsewhere. It all boils down to personal preference, but to say that grips are "non-asian" or an americanization is just incorrect.

2.0 out of 5 stars Amco not Asian oriented., March 19, 2001

No Asian would buy this and to add, my grandmother would call me a disgrace if I even owned this. I'm a loyal Amco fan but I gotta admit, Amco should never go into Asian cookware, or tools.

On the sidenote: it's a great present for those couples who wants their significant others to learn how to use a chopstick. Shows initiative. =)

(I think the guy or girl who invented this probably made it for people beginning to learn how to use a chopstick cause there would be absolutely NO other reason for it. Grips on a chopstick?! Married a non-asian eh? ha ha... it's cool.)
