This one is my own pair :3 I ordered it online from JList.com ! :D

*Note: This is simply how I hold my pair of chopsticks, everyone has different hand positions as to how they hold/use theirs. :)

First take one chopstick and tuck it nicely in the web of your thumb. Depending on the length of the chopstick or however you feel comfortable holding it, about 1/3 down the chopstick is a good start.
