Everything's better with titanium, including your chopsticks. Made from anodized titanium in three colors, these chopsticks taper to a ribbed tip so you can easily grasp every last morsel Read More
Bit heavier than one would expect for chopsticks. Very grippy, no problem with slipping at all. A bit pricey (I bought it for $35) but a pair of chopsticks but it will last for a loooong time.
As an aside: handwash only. The heat from your dishwasher is not a good thing for anodized titanium especially if you get on of the color variants. They are easy to hand clean
I like my Kizer Ti chopsticks a lot - the provided case is excellent. I'm confident that they will outlive me. Only complaint is that the color will fade. I bought the violet color, and after one wash it was already dull in comparison. I will say, I would have likely bought the silver versions. And, for a short while I considered buying a second pair for that reason. I then decided...I bought what I bought, what's done is done. These are already expensive, now they are simply my own. For better or worse :p I will use these until the day that I die, or until something else otherwise happens to them.
Pro tip #1: Use the provided case as a something to set the tips of your sticks on during your next bowl of ramen.
Pro tip #2: Line the inside (if not already) and cap of the case with a nice felt, which will prevent the sticks from clinking around within.
Mediocre human tip #1: If you want to bring them to a restaurant, go for it. Fuck what your friends or partner(s) think whom are with you. It'll be worth it, and the restaurant staff may oblige you with a free shot of sake (:
LefibonacciYou aren't putting them in the dishwasher are you? The metal will be fine in there, but you'll definitely burn out the ano faster. Anodized titanium also appears to get dull or faded every so often, but a little windex wipedown will brighten the color back up.
These are great, feel wonderful, and look amazing (I went with the blue) - but be aware, they are not light weight. They may very well fatigue your hand when used for extended periods of time.
Love 'em!
My coworker who got the same ones but from an earlier iteration is also upset that mine are better due to improvements in the machining. So that's a plus in itself.
AriesWhat did you wash them with, a dishwasher or soap and water?
You can totally clean anodized titanium, but since heat is one of the primary factors in anodizing, if you put them in a dishwasher you might very well discolor the existing ano.
OmniseedTurns out my wife put them in the dishwasher like our other titanium chopsticks when I wasn't looking. There's no drying heater, and they were on the top rack, so it was just hot water and soap. Surprised that that would be enough to ruin the color. The blue ones came out OK, but not the violet. Live and learn.
