Scrape, scrape, make chopsticks!
A DIY kit that allows you to make chopsticks easily and easily, "PENCIL?".
The handle is already ready, and you can make chopsticks by scraping only the tip of the chopsticks.
I want many people to experience the "experience of making chopsticks (things)" more casually! This product was born from such a thought.
It is delivered as a set with a "scutter" blade with a safety guard that even children can work with peace of mind.
〈 3 steps, it's done! 〉
(1) You can also sharpen only the tip of the chopsticks with a regular pencil sharpener. This way, the center of the chopsticks is clear, making it easier to sharpen with a knife.
(2) Use a utility knife, knife, or craft knife and sharpen little by little while observing the overall balance. Even if you just scrape the tip of your chopsticks by about 5 cm, you can use it as chopsticks.
(3) Finally, shape it with the included paper file to smooth the surface.
Completion! It can be used without painting as it is.
*The length is 23cm, which is the general adult size.
*By cutting the length, you can also make it a child's size.

〈 Bamboo from Kyushu at a factory in Kyushu 〉
Light and flexible bamboo is very suitable for chopstick materials.
Recently, the number of bamboo products using bamboo from overseas has increased, but "Chopstick making kit PENCIL?" is made in a factory in Kyushu using bamboo harvested in the mountains of Kyushu.
After cutting the harvested bamboo, it is dried and then smoked to process it into soot bamboo. By doing so, we increase the anti-mold and insect properties, making the chopsticks long-lasting.
