Featured Sterling Silver Chopsticks!

well you must know already that i'm a blade fan...( no....not a fan blade !! .) ..and this type of item has fascinated me for a long time...
It all started with a fire starter....that some shmuck was trying to pass off as a civil war relic ...so I had to do my own digging.....



and found them associated with Asian traveling sets..








and...well......I fell hard for these things....

So...you;re welcome....

From hell...

PS...the pics are not mine........they're hard to come by in real life.....

 

Gorgeous sets!!

Here's my little leather pouch, all finished...



I sewed a seam down the middle of the pouch, to stop the sticks clattering together, and to give it a firmer, more snug fit (to stop them falling out accidentally). I also made a little leather and velcro strappy-thing to hold the rest in place, more securely.

Out and in action, it looks like this:



The floppy leather pouch can be folded up nice and neat, and the removable rest-strap holds everything together!

 

You are very clever, Shangas!

 

I'm flattered!

I enhanced the pouch again, by putting in a more substantial over-flap, to stop it slipping out and stuff...



The velcro strap will do for now, although I may replace it with something nicer one day.

 

very nice Shangas! I'm sure a set of ivory chopsticks will show up for you
Thanks for posting the photos of the Ornate Eating Trousse Komokwa, I've never seen one before.

 

I've enjoyed this thread VERY much !! You've done a GREAT job on the leather pouch Shangas, very nice indeed .. and I hope you get some ivory chopsticks one day . Komokwa, your ivory set is Gorgeous !! Joy.

 

I'll be honest, I seriously questioned when I started this thread, whether or not anybody would have any interest in something as mundane as chopsticks!!

 

What are the dimensions of the silver chop sticks,they look easy to make.

 

Not including the chain, each one is 20.5cm long, exactly.

 

What is the diameter of each end? Looks like about $30 of sterling and a little work.

 

I don't use them often....but enjoy my dexterity at an oriental restaurant.
i've got wood ones, bamboo ones, lacquer ones, plastic ones...but no silver ones..
I think the sterling rest is very interesting...

 

Well they're chopsticks. How much work could they possibly be?

 

Tapered square would be fairly fast,tapered round would be at least 4 times longer.
