stainless steel chopsticks

[denimdestroyedmylife]

hello humans

i am looking for stainless steel chopstick recommendations

i currently have wood chopsticks but they aren't really dishwasher-safe and i never feel they are germ-free

thus i am in search of chopsticks of the stainless steel variety

suggestions?

pm dizzhizz for a Korean proxy on stainless chopsticks. He could probably nab you about 20 pair for free from his company cafeteria or a department store basement if you pay the shipping.

Aren't steel chopsticks a Korean staple? I would check the korean supermarkets and shops.

stainless chopsticks aren't getting you anywhere. They slip all over the place.

Artificialsky I was planning to post that but didn't in the end. If I would've done it, would I have won the thread???

go to a korean market, they will have stainless steel chopsticks. if they don't, you can ask them where to get them.

steal them from a Korean restaurant

I used to own a pair. I got them as a gift from a business partner. The idea of feeling your teeth scraping along the metal of the chopsticks to me is the worst in the world. It goes far beyond fingernails on a blackboard. That is all.

I'll let you have them for free if I can find them.

God damn .. this sounds horrible. No steel chopsticks for me.

I was given 2 pairs of Global chopsticks as a gift a couple of years ago and I'm yet to use them as they are totally lethal. Sharp and pointy like knitting needles.

Forget steel - contact knifemaker Alan Folts and get some custom titanium sticks.

how about chopsticks made from reclaimed ivory. piano keys?

Georg Jensen did awesome chopsicks a while back. I think they were stainless steel but they may have been sterling silver.

Wood isn't as unhygienic as you think - something to do with the expanding/contracting process... i don't know the specifics though.

How is this different than a fork?

I have a pair of ivory chopsticks, I would definately recommend them over metal chopsticks.

[GiZMO]

I have weak hands and I'd imagine they'd hurt fro the weight of steel chopsticks. Do titanium chopsticks exist?

[Charlie Delta]

Yes, but only NO!!!

See, he was trying to be friends with the enviroment so he's looking for something that he can re-use.

Dismal is on point. I can steal as many as you want from my company cafeteria or from the likes of Kims Club (wholesale supermart).

IMO - Korean chopsticks are quite difficult to manuever for the average round eye. I'm very fond of Japanese chopsticks, as the wood and sharpened ends make it easier to pick at food while Chinese chopsticks are just too long and wide but make for an easy grab at the tables.

Lot of strange myths flying around about steel chopsticks. What makes them different from forks or spoons when rubbing against the teeth? Korean ones are tricky to use though unless you've been using them a long time. But I have seen Koreans who can hold a metal spoon and chopsticks in one hand and change back and forth as necessary without involving the other hand.

[GiZMO]

I can do that with wooden (Japanese?) chopsticks. dizz hizz I say you steal some and slang hot stix on the market. I will be first in line.

[Guest jmatsu]

With these sauce dispensing chopsticks you'll never have to dip your sushi in soy sauce again

This is pro-level shit that whitey just don't know. +rep
