Wood or plastic. * Korean chopsticks are made of steel and are oval shaped, about 40 cm long. Each country of course believes its variation of chopstick design is ideal for culinary practices and that every other country must have its head stuck in the ground. Karen thanks for the lesson. The 6 sets we have are all from Japan, we have several full size sets and several shorter sets, I assume are made for children. The are wood and lacared very nicely. We received them as gifts from several Japanese students we had many years ago when we lived in Southern California. We use them every now and then when we hav Japanses food, but not too often these days. Gene
