Would these chopsticks work as hairsticks? Are they sturdy enough? I'm having trouble finding plain, simple hairsticks!

Yes, they would, I'm using them as shawl sticks, there are a lot of pretty, inexpensive chopsticks, I've bought several different sets.

These Japanese Bamboo Chopsticks are very sturdy and strong and I m sure they will work fine as simple hairsticks. I am very, very,satisfied with my chopsticks. I am getting more and more proficient in using them.Thanks, Ray Singh.

Yes, my wife had the same problem and this is what she uses them for. They work well, she says they are a little long but sturdy.

Yes, my girlfriend used one after its brother broke and was unusable as a chop stick,

hehehe... ok, that's a GREAT question! I would guess yes, they are pretty sturdy/heavy. But, my wife wants to know "if you are eating outta the pint container, why would you want to take such small bites?" To her point, these are ice tea spoons, and have a fairly small spoon.I say try 'em, their cheap enough.

Hi Suryeah, Oh yes, they are super sturdy. Cascading plants are very lovely as well. The only small problem is make sure the weight (soil and plants) are evenly distributed. I have fuchsias in mine and tinkerbells. Just lovely windchimes

They would be good for picking up with tongs. My daughter uses them for that purpose - she's 2 1/2 and doesn't have a problem with it!

I've repeatedly used them in the dishwasher laying down on the top shelf - they are fine. However, they are not "smooth" like I thought they would be. They are a little rough for bamboo. Just FYI. We love them, though, and my husband asked me the other day why all the other utensils are not bamboo.

Mine is still new so I wouldn't expect chips, but do be wary about what you put on them. Make sure you oil/treat it before you use it, as it makes the boards so much easier to work with. If you don't, your meats might stick to the board, which is a pain. Also be mindful of how rough you cut. I've always used a glass cutting board so I'm very forceful with my cutting action. Doing this on the bamboo leaves it scarred with cuts and nicks. Just be mindful of the material and you shouldn't have any issues. They really are lovely and the sizes are fantastic!

I'm not wood specialist so I don't know the detail but I know those are the very ones being used in Japan not the twisted bamboo chopstics which is a cheapo chopstic and accidentally I bought them thinking it is from Japan but it is not. This chopstic in the picture is sturdy; you can buy both and compare them, they are cheap enough to buy.

They are smooth enough. Not perfect. But you certainly don't need to sand them down. Many are not very straight. But for fan handles, they would be adequate, unless you are a very picky person. You did not ask about sturdy. They are not extremely sturdy. Again: adequate, unless you want perfect.

yeh, but they can come apart easily when a kid tugs on them hard enough. they also drop them all over the place... careful opening the bag. also be aware there were a fair amount of "duds" in the tube; maybe 20-25% of the sticks didn't light up or were very dim (old, maybe?)

Hello! These will stand up to considerable use. I have Stitchberry single tipped bamboo needles and they are much more fragile than these by Ostart. The latter is a lovely darker "polished" wood, not like the Stitchberry that I have to sand on occasion to keep smooth. Even the US 1 is a sturdy set. I live at the beach and store them in a plastic box inside the little plastic sleeves they were shipped in and mine haven't warped at all. I have been delighted with this set of double pointed needles, I use them very often [I don't have a telly so I craft instead]. I wouldn't be able to knit hats and baby things without them. :-)

They have worked great on everything I have used them for, but have not used them for handling bleach. I will poor out some bleach tonight and check it out. I will let you know tomorrow.

They're standard length as all Japanese chopsticks. I know the photo can be deceiving. You'll love them!

haven't tried that but feel like it would work perfectly if noodles aren't sticky. the blades are plenty sharp and are spaced at a distance that would work for noodles

My husband really likes his chopsticks. I would say they are the standard length, same as disposable ones from the restaurant.

In my personal opinion no.. they are not that stick proof. They are truly a rare find and I highly recommend them for serious cooks.

No, the bows themselves are pretty sturdy. The real issue is getting them to stay on your finger. But I only use nail polish to make them stick, using nail glue would probably keep them on well. They are very sturdy though, I've even reised them many times.

I have never had this situation, so I don't know, but I will do some research because it is easy to lose one of the sticks. Okay, I just checked the Zoku website and they have them for sale. Not sure about alternatives.
