New Japanese made snakewood chopsticks of perfect octagonal section ending in fine terminals allowing to pick up an individual rice grain. Perfectly made, perfectly balanced, have nothing to do with roughly produced fat ones made in China. Snakewood stands out as one of the most aesthetically unique exotic woods in the world. Its muted light yellow-, orange- or red-tinted brown underlying base color is covered by tight, uniform patterns of darker brown or black patches which give the appearance of snakeskin. The wood is straight-grained with a fine texture, will not buckle with age from usage and washing. Length 8 5/8 inches.
