Trend Korean, Chopsticks and Spoon set.






These chopsticks are phenomenal! I can't rave enough about how beautiful and high quality these are. They're heavy, like traditional chopsticks used in Korea. While stationed there, I fell in love with the fine dishes they used at restaurants. I just knew I had to have some. I received one set, but 5 different images, after contacting them they are so polite and lovely. The chopsticks and spoons are made of stainless steel, not some shiny chrome plated metal, that will flake off. These are seriously some of the most beautiful chopsticks, that I have personally owned or used.

They're also smooth, this set is heavier than what most are probably used to, so keep that in mind.  They're also skinnier than most as well, additionally  that may take some getting used to, if you're not to savvy with chopsticks, but if you have little hands like me. They're perfect. These don't slip, or get sticky, while using them either. So, they don't fall from your fingers, or cause you to loose your grip.



 Like previously mentioned. I received one set each, of five different sets. Their store has so many options, and  three different quantities to purchase. 10, 5 and 2.  You can see all the different options and beautiful sets for yourself HERE- Trend Korean Amazon store these sets do come directly from Korea, well mine did. You can additionally visit their website HERE Trend Korean They came relatively fast though, so no complaints there. Packaged nicely, so nothing would be damaged. Not that I am sure you could damage these, it would take someone very strong to bend them, and, they're not easily scratched.


* I wonder if you could make special engravings with them. Will make note to ask*


Clovers

As for each individual set-


The Clovers- These are my favorite. The clovers are spaced out evenly, and appropriately, the design is sharp, and clear. It is just stunning, subtle yet, bold enough for just about anyone to use. Not too girly, or manly. These are the ones I find my self picking up just to look at!







Roses
The Roses- These ones are probably my second favorite, as I find them to be very elegant. I love the design of the roses and vines, I really like the added touch of color to them as well. Its not over powering, or kinda like whoa! Not gaudy, but very almost romantic. I think these ones would be perfect as a gift for newlyweds, or valentines day, if you know someone who really likes fine silverware, or chopsticks!







Korean Lettering
Korean Lettering- I love the traditional look of these ones.  They remind me of dining out in the nicer restaurants of Korea. Which were my favorite to go to, as they served the tastiest, most flavorful food you can imagine. (Okay, they were my second favorite next to Korean BBQ) The lettering in these ones, are set on a field of a slightly different color, they are crisp and clear, very easy to see. each letter is fully engraved, no spaces, or rough spots where it looks like something is missing.












flowers and apricots

The Apricots-  These are just stunning, like someone seriously meticulously hand engraved these. The attention to detail here is outstanding, they didn't miss anything with these ones. They are subtle, beautiful flowers and apricots on a vine, like something from some a Vatican city!













The Cats- While I am not a huge cat lover, I know many who are. The cats are so cute, and have some color to them, with the word love engraved and colored red. These are very cute, for anyone who likes cats!




Trend Korean makes chopstick and spoons with over 100 different images, they have something for everyone.   *Please note on the Images- they are not dirty, Its from the flash of the camera, and my fingerprints. It's kinda cold here.. I have read that a good way to stop the finger prints, is to use a little bit of baby oil to wipe them down with, but I can't imagine doing that on these, unless you were to display them.*



* I received a sample for my honest and unbiased review*
