These are definitely not optimized for actually handling sushi. The plastic makes them slippery and they're not firm enough – i.e. they give way too much, which makes the grip weak. If you look at well made chopsticks that perform well as utensils you'll notice that they're mostly made out of wood, or in rare occasions metal (in which case the tip is more coarse than the rest of the sticks). These could've been great, but they're not. They made them out of this slippery and bendy kind of plastic rather than something firm and better for gripping.
Before someone says anything about it, let me say that I'm definitely not bad at using chopsticks.
Story: I was really excited to use these for the first time when ordering home some sushi with friends. When I finally tried eating with them though, well... it's as if I suddenly became a bumbling klutz with no clue how to use chopsticks. Sushi kept slipping out of the grip. Switched to the cheap throwaway chopsticks, that you always get with your sushi, and – presto chango – I could eat as a champ once again.
