A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
You cannot be a large corporation.
The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

Hey everybody, I hope you're all doing well.

My significant other and myself are enjoying asian food on regular basis and want to switch to proper chopsticks instead of reusing the single-use ones.

Since we don't have any knowledge about anything, what's matters what not, I wanted to ask you if someone can recommend any or at least give any advice what to look for and what to avoid.

Plus points if it's available in the EU.

Thanks for your time, have a nice one

I use stainless chopsticks myself.

I noticed that they're more punishing to bad form.

What I mean is that since they're more slippery they forced me to grip them harder which hurt my wrist over time. (My wrist is already bad from using a computer for work all the time).

But when I fixed my form, I can hold the chopsticks with very little force and they're just as comfortable as wood chopsticks now.

So if you're wary about, or not enjoying stainless chopsticks, I encourage whomever reads this to keep playing around with different grips.
