Yes because Titanium.

We call them "hashis", and I use them differently than the picture on the Chinese take out package. But I can pluck an ice cube out of a cup of water and throw it across the room with mine.

Somewhere in my camp gear is a titanium spork...

Right, "hashi" is the Japanese name.

in Cantonese phonetically, it's

Fai (Feye) Chi (gee)

FaiChi

Cool, I wasn't aware.

in case you need a fork.

its called :D

Cha

You get more in your mouth faster, with a spoon. Just sayin…

What, you guys buy your chopsticks? How about making your own? Jig that uses a special handplane!

My favorite pair- snakewood; never actually have used them though. I can use chopsticks in a marginal fashion, picked up peanuts at a restaurant years ago. Pretty proud of myself.

You can always use the chopsticks the other way around. More surface area to ladle it in.

Can you make a titanium set with that jig and plane? :D

since they aren't titanium, you're probably going to need to drill them to add lightness.

A while back, I went to a Korean noodle restaurant with my friend John. He's a denizen of the chopstick culture, and I was ashamed of myself for being such a poor citizen of the world that I needed a fork. I always need a fork. LSS, I practiced for a month with 100 coffee beans every night, out of the bowl into another bowl, in addition to using them at meals.

Sadly, I didn't get much better. Stiff little fingers, not nimble.....

whomever organizes the Christmas Gift exchange. what do i need to do, to get Rwest to draw my name.

those are badass!!

I lived in Singapore as a youth. I know how to shovel food out of a bowl with chopsticks into my mouth, it’s just not polite in the US.

But, your point is noted. I should point out it’s even more effective if you use the cheap ones and don’t split them apart.

That's a good idea. I'll try that next time.

Just went down a titanium Google worm hole and found titanium drinking straws :cool:

Carbon/titanium chop sticks for the win!

Just hold your rice bowl right up to your mouth and start shoveling it in. That’s the proper technique, in the orient.
