    The friend asking me for the chopsticks is Chinese, so he appears to
    know what he wants. As an aside he mentioned an old saying "gold
    bowl, silver chopsticks" which relates to nobility...gold bowls
    refers to those that can afford them (rich, royalty, etc) and silver
    chopsticks ties in with the belief that silver chopsticks would
    tarnish if the food was poisoned...there is a message there :-). 

    Thanks for your feedback 

Randy
