Received mine today. Ordered two pairs in blue and proceeded to wash one pair in the sink. The difference in finish immediately after the first wash is astounding. Mind you I only used the soft part of the sponge and not the rough green side. Regular off-the-shelf dishwashing detergent.

I agree the chopsticks clink around inside the case, so a thin cloth like the one used for Ray-Ban sunglasses might be of use to dampen them.
It takes quite some effort to actually bend these chopsticks so I'm convinced that these are solid and not hollow. They are heavy. I would only bring these with me in my EDC if I gave up my tactical pen, as these chopsticks would be more than a fitting substitute. Two, at that.
Wish I got these in the plain metal finish, instead.
ZaafielThat's a good idea, but to bad I don't have a Ray Ban microfiber cloth. If only there was something else I could use in the same manner. I also wonder if a microfiber cloth that came with another brand of sunglasses would work?
DrewDelIt would definitely work. As I live in Metro Manila, Philippines, what I actually do is use tissue paper from wherever ramen shop I last dined. It serves as both chopsticks dampener and reminder where I last used them (most of the shops here stamp their name/brand logo on the tissues).
At this point I realize it was a good idea for Kizer to have the metal case open on both sides, in case you need to push the chopsticks out in the off-chance they get wrapped around too tight and don't pop out no matter how hard you shake the case.
