The 'ChopChucks' are a two-in-one utensil for those seeking out a way to eat a meal, while also practicing their hand-eye coordination during their downtime. The chopstick utensils feature a titanium construction that can be used with a wide range of foods and boast a detachable design that will enable them to slide out into two parts. This will allow them to be used as a nunchuck-style fidget toy for performing a range of tactics and maneuvers.
The 'ChopChucks' are constructed using either titanium or stainless steel, depending on the style, and are comfortable enough for daily use thanks to their durable design. The compact design of the chopsticks will enable them to be easily collapsed down when not in use to maximize portability.
