one of my most useful EDC tools. chopsticks.

[Darth-Baiter]

i carry a flashlight and a knife in my "man-bag" 100% along with a bunch of other stuff i like to use.

 

the Chopsticks were a Hail-Mary, and have become super useful.  i forget a fork or spoon quite often, and not all is lost.  i bought some cheapo (may or may not be) titanium sticks.  the company is called KEITH titanium or something.  they seem heavier than what titanium should be, but the added heft is what makes them great for me.  super light ones would be annoying.  you need the heft..and you need the grip.  these have both.  i love these things.   i have yet to break them out at a restaurant, but i can if i wanted.  hahha.

 

cleaning them is a breeze.  i just wipe them down with a anti bacterial wipe that i always have around me.  just wanted to put this out there for the office people that bring leftovers for lunch.  game changer.  for me at least.  i dont like plastic utensils for a host of reasons.

Having two asian EX wife made me a Chopstick user and I like this wooden ones more than metal, Also you can clean them by wipe as well. I have bad grip due to injury and carry metal chopsticks are not easy. Anyways thanks for sharing and you made me going to look for some metal chopsticks with rubber grip for my truck, Also look for this brands I am using from Japan, They are really good.

In college I bought a can of Beanie weenies to eat between classes, had like 10 minutes. No eating utensils in the truck, ended up using a crescent wrench. As you might imagine I got my lunch all over my clothes

If you're hungry enough, fingers will get any food item to the mouth.

If I'm not with someone who's prim and proper, still like using my fingers ?......the ultimate tools.

Yep. Uncomfortable as all hell in a pocket. That’s why I carry a backpack every where I go. Just for that pesky little rescuer inhaler.

I have a pair of Snowpeak titanium with screw in teak pieces for backpacking.  They are absolutely fantastic.  We all got a set at the shop I worked at when they first came out probably 20+ years ago and mine are still going strong.  I think the new ones are made with bamboo though.

if any of you do construction work, i'll give you another good use for chopsticks, the ones they give away at a restaurant.  sometimes you're on a site where guys like to hide in the porta john so they can smoke, or just have an excuse not to do anything.  if you have to go, and someone is tying it up  on a regular basis, what to do?

 

close the hasp on the door, and drop  those chopsticks in the loop, then walk away.
