NATIVE WOOD CHOPSTICKS
Thank you all for your interest in my chopsticks. However, we do not currently sell directly online.
You can find our chopsticks at a number of retail stores, including selected stores in the Aotea Gifts chain and some Acquisitions stores. They are also available at Kiwiana Souvenirs on Queen Street in Auckland.
If you are in Northland, you may be able to find them at The Cabbage Tree. Other locations include Jade Kiwi in Kaikōura and the National Aquarium of New Zealand in Napier.
Below is a video showing how I make the chopsticks:

This is a set of chopsticks and a holder in the traditional Chinese style, handcrafted from matai wood sourced locally in New Zealand. The simple design allows the natural wood grain to shine through. Matai wood is naturally oily and has been treated with safe, utensil-specific wood oil to enhance its durability and prevent warping. The silver fern leaf pattern, a symbol of New Zealand, is engraved on both the chopstick handles and the holder, making it a practical and commemorative item that represents the diverse culture of New Zealand.
