My mother is Korean and so I grew up using stainless steel chopsticks. Apparently they're quite popular in Korean households...as well as stainless steel rice bowls. You might have seen them, the ones with the stainless lids?
Anyway. These are just like the ones I grew up using. There are some drawbacks (like the noodle comment made earlier) but it's not a product flaw. Yes, wooden chopsticks are going to grip better, but they also tend to mildew if used repeatedly and have to be restocked. Lacquer coated wooden chopsticks tend to flake after a while. And besides, when eating asian food you don't really pick up individual noodles (which would have you slipping and sliding). You sorta grab a large portion and bring your face close to the bowl and slurp them down. I think the Japanese actually bring the bowl to their face instead. Trust me...it all goes where it needs to.
The main thing is getting use to their diameter. These are much more slender than the wooden chopsticks you see in restaurants. Not for the novice chopsticker.

These are the only chopsticks that I found that are dishwasher safe which is so important when there is no way I am going to do dishes!

Stainless chopsticks sound like a great idea, but they just don't work very well. They're hard to eat with because they're slick - noodles especially just slide right off (and I know how to eat with chopsticks; no problems with other kinds). Also, they get way too hot when you eat hot foods.
I wouldn't buy them again. The dishwasher-safe thing doesn't mean much if they are never used.
 $8.95 and more user friendly than Joyce Chen's steel chopsticks July 24, 2006

These sticks aren't ringed on the lower end. However, these might be slightly better as well as slightly heavier.

First of all, they aren't really intended for the novice user, but they are perfect for the long run. The wooden ones WILL rot before you ever get skilled with them, but these stainless steel ones will take a licking and keep on picking.
One thing the description doesn't say, is that they ARE made to be used as chopsticks and they can really function like them.
Maybe on the descriptions from before they said they are slippery and they don't have any grip. I never had any problem with that depending on what I tried to grab. I was able to grab chopped steaks and even some vegetables with these utensils, though I haven't tried noodles yet.
Another thing I need to point out that the description doesn't. These utensils aren't round. The handles are square, as the points are rounded. The tips are blunted so grabbing things becomes awkward until you learn to get "around" the item you want to pick up. If you know how to use chopsticks and pick up things with them, you'll only have a very slight adjustment to make with these.
All in all, for their originality and how they are made, I give them a four and a half out of five.
If you wanted chopsticks to replace fickle and often unwashable wooden ones, these are the kind you want to get, definately.
