Chopsticks made of stainless steel and bamboo that can be stored compactly in half, "Japanese arms"

Chopsticks for portable use despite the dishes but with the name "weapons" and also awarded the Good Design Award "Japanese arms(3800 yen including tax) has been finished in what quality, how easy to use, how portable, I actually purchased them and confirmed it.

The package looks something like this. The manufacturer is a Japanese outdoor equipment manufacturer called Snow Peak.


There are two sizes, L (on the photo) and M.


I have L size in my hand. Because it is quite large, it is safe to choose M size even for men except when it is very large hands or when used as chopsticks. The model is a man with a height of 175 cm and is the size of the average hand.


The center of gravity is quite behind. When I first had it, I felt somewhat uncomfortable, but it was a level I did not mind if I actually started eating.


The tip is made of bamboo.


Part of the hand is made of stainless steel. Because it is squared, it is attractive that it is hard to roll. Old models are reviewed by Amazon 's reviewThe metal part was rounded and rolled and stained many times in the cafeteria of the company and in the mountains of hikingAlthough it was written as "the latest version, I feel the spirit of snow peaks around where I am improving exactly.


Weight is M size 27 grams.


Even in L size, the weight is 29 grams, and it is only 2 grams difference with M size.


By the way, common disposable chopsticks are 4 grams.


L size is about 22.5 cm in size L and M size is 20.5 cm.


With such a feeling it can be divided into two.


Connection part is screw type.


You can remove the cap attached to the back of the stainless steel handle.


There is also a screw groove in the cap, and the tip of the chopstick can also be attached here.


If you store it in the possession like this you can fix it without touching the inner wall, so even if you can not wash it sanitary. Because the rubber packing is attached to the part of the cap, it can be fixed just by pushing just.



The length at the time of storage is L size is about 12.5 cm and M size is 11.3 cm.


By the way, the length when storing M size is the same as "iPhone 4S".


It is convenient to carry because it comes with a case made of a strong cloth called "canvas".


Velcro is attached to the case lid. There is no worry that chopsticks will pop out even when carrying around.


Let's actually use it for meals.

First is rice. It is very usual feeling. Because there are parts of stainless steel, I feel slightly heavier than disposable chopsticks, but I do not feel tired.


Next is shrimp. The tip of the chopsticks is slippery so it is easy to slide, but I am holding it tightly.


"Famchiki" this time. It will not slip even on oil.


Try also with corn. Even small ones are caught securely.


The end is ramen. Depending on the angle, the noodle falls off easily, but it is possible to keep it as long as it is about 45 degrees like the photo.


Even when washing with vigorously running water, there was never any water entering in the hand which is hollow.


As I actually use it, because it is hard to roll because it is square so it will be as small as an iPhone, so it is easy to carry around, the tip of the chopstick does not touch the case when it is stored and you know the goodness of fine making such as sanitary "This is a Good Design Award I was satisfied with the award "quality was a quality. However, since the weight seems to be about seven times that of disposable chopsticks, it seems to be snow peaks with many items on the surface, so we would like to lighter weight to the limit by climbing etcUltra lightNot suitable for oriented people. People who say that when using it with a set of boxed lunches to take to the company or school, "I am particular about compactness" and "I do not want to use disposable chopsticks" are worth considering purchasing.
