Aug 2, 2012 11:40 AM   The gentle curve of the tines on a fork make spearing food a little easier, but also help to keep them from getting dirty when placed on a table. Which is an issue that has made chopstick rests a necessary accessory at many restaurants, at least until these brilliant Restless Chopsticks become more mainstream. Created by Mikiya Kobayashi, the chopsticks feature a clever angled design at the tip so when not in use the end that touches your food never comes into contact with the table. It's a brilliantly simple improvement to the chopstick design that unfortunately also seems easy to copy. So even though they're $15 a pair, it's probably best to buy the real deal to support the clever designer who came up with the idea—before ripoffs show up in every restaurant from here to Roppongi.

Jul 21, 2012 7:00 PM   If you thought nothing could ever top those Star Wars -themed chopsticks that looked exactly like miniature lightsabers, you're about to have your mind blown wide open again. Because thanks to improvements in miniature LED and battery technology, those lightsaber chopsticks now feature a glowing blade. They won't be available until November, but these updated versions of one of the best pieces of Star Wars merchandise ever, now glow either blue or red—depending on if you choose the light side of the force and go with Luke, or the dark side and opt for Vader. They'll sell for around $23 a pair, and you can pre-order them now if you want to get your hands on a set the parsec they're released.
