Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These function as chopsticks quite well but there is a huge issue. They get the job done. They are easy to clean. Do not buy into reviews about lack of ability to pick up items due to no grip. That is silly. I eat rice, noodles, sushi, etc. with chopsticks regularly. It's a case of lack of practice that people are experiencing, from my point of view. Here is the problem: for a true high quality product I expect the durability to be exceptional. To pay for a $16 set of chopsticks I expect premium product with no issues. These chopsticks leave marks all along the bottoms of the wares I eat out of. I am a potter and I value the dishes I eat out of more than most people, yet these chopsticks ruin my wares with metallic lines. This means that the "titanium" product you are using is depositing metals into your mouth and into your dishes. Very low quality result from a "high quality" product. Do yourself a favor and buy some bamboo chopsticks or use the free ones at a restaurant. If they fixed this issue I would be fully impressed and would recommend these from the rooftops. I've got a serious online following and I was looking forward to sharing this product with them, but I will certainly not be promoting it currently. Recap: Function is superb. Metal deposits in my dishes are awful. Product cost me money, and new dishes cost me money.
