Perfect travel chopsticks,
By TCL (Guilford, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yamazaki 32400 My Chopsticks Stainless-Steel Chopsticks with Carrying Case, Black (Kitchen)
These chopsticks are the perfect travel chopsticks.
What makes a good pair of travel chopsticks? 1) Adjustable length: short to fit in a lunchbag/purse/pocket and long to balance nicely in the hand and keep you fingers away from the food. 2) The material has to be durable and easily washable. 3) The material and/or design has to not harbor bacteria/food remnants. 4) The case has to be easily washable, durable and portable. 5) They have to be inexpensive in case you loose them. 6) Preferably lightweight as you will be carrying these around. Although these chopsticks fit all the above criteria perfectly, there are a few notes/tips to consider when purchasing these: 1) These chopsticks essentially tapered steel barrels. They are hollow to be lightweight and strong. 2) Steel chopsticks are not for the novice chopstick user. It is harder to grasp things. These do have ridges on the food end but it doesn't help much unless you have really good (& correct) skills. 3) You can burn your lips and tongue eating hot foods with metal chopsticks. Again, not for the novice. 4) The container is an aluminium tube with some plastic lining to prevent the chopsticks from rattling. 5) The chopsticks fit in the tube *very* snugly. There is only 1 way to get them to fit: Insert the lower halves first, pointy food-end facing up. Then insert the remaining halves, screw-end facing up. 6) Since the case is one tube, it is easy to wash with a small bottle brush or by simply rinsing in hot soapy water. 7) The case has "YAMAZAKI" and "MY CHOPSTICKS" printed in grey on opposite ends of the lower barrel. It is very visible in the red and the black. It is much less visible (and gentler on the eye) on the silver case. 8) The clip (tight) and the collar are shiny chrome. Other issues: * These are the lightest steel chopsticks. * Quality Control - I own and use several of these (car bag/desk at work/picnic basket/craft table/tool kit) and have given many as gifts over the years. 9 out of 10 have no problems. Only 1 or 2 have a slight finishing issue with end of the tip of the hand-end and a mere 1 - 2 millimetre difference in length. * If you need a slightly heavier weight but otherwise same chopstick, get the one packaged in the oval reading-glasses tube (sold under various brands) and also on Amazon Stainless Steel Portable Travel Chopsticks #8034 . I saw some advertised recently as "brow-pencil" chopsticks. * For gift giving, I recommend one of the decorated chopsticks in a matching gift box. They can be found online: search for boxed gift chopsticks. * For novices, a plain bamboo chopstick is best. Or try a banquet style (Chinese-style) straight chopstick. The tapered ends require more skills that comes with much practice.

Lack of Quality,

This review is from: Yamazaki 32400 My Chopsticks Stainless-Steel Chopsticks with Carrying Case, Black (Kitchen)
The included carrying case is an eyesore since it is labeled on two sides which is not obvious form the product picture.
The chop sticks themselves are VERY light. Unfortunately they are not even symmetrical. Various differences in manufacturing are easily noticeable and greatly detract from their look. They are also a bit slippery and may not be a good choice for certain food types.

This review is from: Yamazaki 32200 My Chopsticks Stainless-Steel Chopsticks with Carrying Case, Silver (Kitchen)
I got these as a gift for one of my groomsmen who travels a lot and loves Japanese food. I was hoping the presentation would be better for these, but you get what you pay for. They come in a plastic case (it's not steel like it may look in the picture), and the case comes free floating in the Amazon box (I expected the case to come in some form of box that I could wrap, but had to find a gift box instead).
The sticks themselves are a good weight and solid stainless steel. There's really nothing fancy about them, and I went to an engraving shop and paid $20 to get his initials engraved on them, so I essentially paid twice the price of the chopsticks just to personalize them. Still, my friend seemed to like them and I hope he will use them in his travels. I was going to give two stars for presentation, but I'll give three because the price is right. 2115|R2SASVXFJFFV3J;2115|R285P6YLVIC3HQ;2115|R1531A0IS60KSX;
