Bamber16.5 Inches Extra Long Wood Chopsticks Set, Cooking Frying Chopstick, Set of 5 Pairs

I'm glad I stumbled on to these. They are well crafted, sturdy, and when you accidentally put them in the dish washer a couple of times they haven't warped. Very good quality.

They’re strong and straight. They didn’t lose color or bent in dishwasher machine.I wish they’re little bit longer for easier to hold

I like that they are made from real bamboo and are a great length.

They have a strong odor that does not come out after (hand) washing two to three times (can't say if that's the natural scent of bamboo or not, because I have no idea what bamboo smells like). I rinsed them under hot water for a while to see if the smell would come out (no more than a minute), as I worried about it soaking into my food, but now they appear to have lost their shine in some areas, leaving a slightly rough surface. No effect on the smell.There were no care instructions in the package, nor on the product description (that I could find, anyway), so I'm a bit upset if I've done something wrong and ruined them. I've only read online not to soak bamboo for long periods of time or put it in the dishwasher. Wish they came with instructions. I rubbed them with coconut oil, as is often suggested in the care of wooden or bamboo utensils, and the very shiny, smooth, appearance *seems* to have mostly returned. We'll see how they hold up over the next week or two.Other than that, they seem fairly heavy and sturdy. They were very smooth, shiny, and splinter-free when I first opened the package; almost metallic. I can't be certain if the little stripes in the bamboo are the normal texture of bamboo, or if the brief hot water "soak" has opened up small splinters. I have some bamboo cooking utensils from my dad that are many years old which are slightly rough to touch (the texture of a smoothish wood, but nowhere near metallic) and have the same type of little stripes. Presumably, this is the normal texture of bamboo :)The size is nice for me. I like to use chopsticks as an everything utensil to cook and eat with, and the 10 pairs should be great for when I have family over. It also means I don't have to feel too bad if one or two of them break or get lost to other household uses. Plus, what is easier to wipe off with a dishrag than a chopstick. However, last negative, almost all of the logos are off-center (a couple even centered on the corner) and of varying thickness/darkness. I don't mind because it's just a logo (cosmetic), but this might bother some people. Each chopstick is a slightly different color (but not so much to be harsh), and I enjoy the natural variance.

I’m using these bamboo chopsticks as houseplant name tags. I rotate my houseplants a quarter turn every week to encourage uniform growth. The chopsticks mark quadrant one as it rotates South-West-North-East, ad infinitum. The chopsticks are easily shortened as needed for different sized flower pots. All plants have quadrant one in the same position, which makes it easy to tell which of my many plants have been rotated in any given week. I painted the plant names with an extra fine point acrylic paint pen.

easy to hold and use also feels good in hands. In fact I just order one more set so I can get rid of old stuff

These are good quality bamboo chop sticks. They are hefty, well proportioned and nicely finished. Tapering gradually from grip to tip, their shape progresses from a rounded square at the grips to round at the small end. I use them as utensils at meal-time but I also use them in crafting. Since they are strong and highly regular (identical) they are especially useful for artistic purposes.

Maybe chopsticks used in China are different than those used in Japan. But they are advertised as Japanese Style so they should be that. They are not. My wife is from Japan and she says the tips are too big, meaning the diameter is too large at the tip. We have many chopsticks from Japan and she appears to be correct. The tips on those are much skinnier. I like them though.
