[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 9876961, member: 360"]Soooo, I picked this up today at auction, and I just love it! Or to be more precise, I picked up parts of this thing, today. This antique Manchurian chopstick trousse came with the scabbard, and the original knife, but sadly the chopsticks were in a damaged and unsalvageable condition. They'd been broken at some point and couldn't be restored. They were bone, and...yeah. Anyway, I managed to replace the damaged chopsticks with a pair of silver chopsticks from my own collection, which fits the holster and are of the right length and shape to slide in neatly...

The other set I have also came with broken bone chopsticks, which I again, replaced with silver. I've never seen a set which I could yet afford, which had intact chopsticks. One day I will...maybe...
