Snow Peak Carry-on Chopsticks

The "light is right" crew would probably just bring a pair of freebies from the Chinese restaurant, but these Snow Peak chopsticks are quite snazzy--and functional too! I freezer bag cook while out camping and normally pack chopsticks and a bowl for all foods (what you can't scoop with the sticks goes straight down the hatch from the bowl itself.) I've had these fancy storable chopsticks on my gift list for a while and the wife finally came through. Some reusable chopsticks have plastic or highly pollished wood, which ends up giving having no grip on food. The finish on these chopsticks have a nice grip to them, and the whole assembly feels right in the hand. Given the twitchy nature of TSA agents I wouldn't advise trying the "carry-on" part of these untensils--what with the metal barrels and all. If nothing else they'd feign security concerns and confiscate them simply because they look so darn cool! Because I'm most likely not going to keep them on my person at all times, I'm thinking about snipping the lanyard off of the nylon case.While not an essential camping item, these chopsticks still fall more on the side of funcional over flair for back country gadgets. I'd happily recommend them.

I have owned a pair of these for I can't remember how long, and everytime I use them, I get excited all over again. A friend of mine has been commenting on how much he liked them, and I finally located them through your web site, and purchased a pair for him. I delivered them in church one Sunday, and I'm still hearing about it. The workmanship is superlative, and the fact that they break down and store in the handle allows you to bring them along even when space is critical. I would highly recommend these for any gear kit, or even just for forays into the local sushi bar. Well done!

I got these chopsticks as a gift for a friend as a thank you. She had worked very hard on a volunteer project and knew this was the gift she would love. After presenting these to her, her mouth didn't close for a good 1/2 hour then her husband told me later that she actually wore them around her neck to bed. They are so extremely well made and frankly beautiful pieces of equipment. She has told me that she uses them on a daily basis. These chopsticks are not just for the backcountry, they are for any chopstick user far and wide.

Fantastic!! I love these things. If there is a meal that can be eaten with them, I do. I wish the caps were screw on so I'd worry less about losing them but I'm always very cognizant when I pull these out anyways. They really make you use proper technique too. Not sure how long the wood will last but when it gives out I'll definitely buy more. If you know anyone who loves sushi or eats a lot of noodles this is their sexy new utensil. Here's a pic of beef stroganoff in an Orikaso bowl with the Snow Peak Chopsticks.

After 3 years of daily use (I bring my bento lunch everyday to work), recycled baseball bat chop stick finally gave up. Beside I lost the top cap covers after 3 days, this is the gear that your friends or peers always ask you about everytime you use them. Stoke #4!

This is one of the best peices of gear anyone has ever given to me. Not sure I would have ever have thought to buy them myself, but now that I have them I can't image life without them. Perfect for trail ramien. Small, light and compact.
