If anyone clicked and wanted actual real/good chopsticks, you want wood chopsticks with a natural finish and FAT ends. The skinny ones or ones with a shine are awful to use, especially eating something like noodles.

Old listing but I have these as an example:

Honestly, I think chopsticks are all personal preference.

As a Korean-American, I grew up using metal chopsticks and I'm just accustomed to them. I also prefer the square style.

I use to often go to Chinatown restaurants and they would use round plastic or square fiberglass chopsticks. They were also always longer. They were just too light, had bad balance in the hand, and were uncomfortable to hold.

Wood is a good alternative and popular in China and Japan. It's more versatile for use in cooking. But I've always had issues with the bottoms wearing out, and leaching stains from hot pots. The intention is to replace your wooden chopsticks every year.

Thanks for actually listing a good product instead of something you get a kickback from with a coupon code.

Koreans use metal chopsticks for numerous reasons. According to DeepSeek Koreans use metal chopsticks for several cultural, historical, and practical reasons:

1. **Historical Influence**: The use of metal chopsticks in Korea dates back to the Baekje Kingdom (18 BCE–660 CE). Metal utensils were considered a symbol of wealth and status, as they were more durable and expensive than wooden or bamboo chopsticks. Over time, their use became widespread across all social classes.

2. **Hygiene**: Metal chopsticks are easier to clean and sanitize compared to wooden or bamboo ones, which can absorb liquids and harbor bacteria. This aligns with Korea's emphasis on cleanliness and food safety.

3. **Durability**: Metal chopsticks are more durable and long-lasting than their wooden or bamboo counterparts. They do not warp, splinter, or break easily, making them a practical choice for everyday use.

4. **Cultural Identity**: The use of metal chopsticks is a distinct cultural trait that sets Korean dining customs apart from those of other East Asian countries, where wooden or bamboo chopsticks are more common. This uniqueness is a point of pride for many Koreans.

5. **Practicality with Korean Cuisine**: Korean meals often include grilled or hot dishes, such as barbecue. Metal chopsticks are heat-resistant and do not burn or warp when used to handle hot food, unlike wooden or bamboo chopsticks.

6. **Eco-Friendly**: Metal chopsticks are reusable and environmentally friendly, reducing the need for disposable chopsticks.

The combination of these factors has made metal chopsticks a lasting and integral part of Korean dining culture.

I'd be wary of dismissing a whole culture's use of metal chopsticks.

I was also thinking that many in the US use stainless steel for utensils for similar reasons (cleanliness, hygiene, environnent etc. ) would not metal chopsticks align in that regard?

I think this is just a generic chopstick that is sold under multiple brands. Here is another listing with the identical product: https://www.amazon.com/GLAMFIELDS...VSSM7?th=1

Highly recommend fiberglass chopsticks... Generally around $6 for 10 pairs. Cheap, eat to handle, dishwasher safe.

I guess it is just me? but the metal chopsticks feel cheap to me.
Although I have never been, but I sort of think metal chopsticks are for jail inmates use. It is funny, I don't feel that for the stainless steel silverware (knife, spoon, fork).

I like Korean foods (i.e. Tofu House) but the metal chopsticks are hard for me to use as it gets hot, too skinny, etc (and that makes me feel the actual foods not so tasty), so I always request for wood chopsticks when I dine in.

Similar to same thinking, I don't like paper straws, wood spoon, fork, plastic (especially one time use), silverware.

I am not sure how many people feel in same way.

I would avoid fiberglass chopsticks whenever possible. Fiberglass may break, because they are glasses. Then the glass chipouts may get swollen with the food.

Skinny or pointy tip chopstick are the best when you want more refine grip. I've used all type of chop stick and pointy tip is my favorite for eating. Long wooden chopstick (twice or three time the length of normal one) for cooking.

Metal chopstick are fine for hygiene but unless you're eating something you're not supposed to and store it somewhere dirty then that problem is non existent. I tried metal cooking chopstick and it terrible in two ways: heavy and scratch the pan/pot.

Tips: don't use your eating chopstick to cook because heat will warp it.

"The skinny ones or ones...are awful to use"

That's called a skill issue.

Besides, chopstick shapes are tailored for the food that pertains to the culture. Chinese use thick ended chopsticks, Korean use flat metal, and Japanese use pointed ends. Their is a reason why they exist.
