UchiCook's Lockable Chopsticks is a tong-style version of traditional Japanese chopsticks. The locking mechanism closes the chopsticks with one simple click and makes the tool slim and compact for convenient storage. Push lightly and slide downward to unlock. The tool also has a built-in resting edge that keeps your dirty tool off of the counter while in use. The high quality Japan-made tool is designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, while the angle of the handle puts less tension on your hand during use. The materials used to make the Lockable Chopsticks are heat resistant up to 482 Degree (250 Degree). Delicately pinch, decorate and serve your food as you wish - just like cooking with chopsticks. Made in Japan.
