>     forging down round ends from square stock 

    I'd find it easier to make rod into square than the other way round.
    Also, the part that you put in your mouth would then be as smooth as
    you like. Assuming you are making parallel-sided chopsticks, not the
    pointy Japanese ones. 

    I'd also use fine silver for better hygiene. No real need for an
    alloy in this application. 

    I just remembered, I've got some fine sil chopsticks here somewhere
    ... with a chunky fine sil chain joining the two.
