Nice idea in theoryI purchased 2 sets of these for my cousin and his wife, who are both sushi lovers and often make their own sushi at home. However, I'm not sure how functional these chopsticks will be. The metal part on top makes them extremely heavy (specifically extremely top heavy). In addition, the chop sticks are square instead of rounded. Pair this with the fact that they are top heavy, and it makes them difficult to hold. Also, the engraving was fairly light in some spots (I had "Good Fortune to You" engraved on one stick and each of their names on the other and the letter "Y" in the word "You" is much lighter on both chopsticks than the other letters).
Overall, I'm still happy to give this gift to them. If nothing else, they look nice and I know they'll appreciate them.
