Accepted Answer

Wooden chopsticks are a versatile and durable type of chopsticks. Since wood isn’t a highly conductive material, heat does not transfer onto your hands when in use. Similarly, wood itself is a pretty durable material and doesn’t take on scratches, dents, or deformities easily making it an extremely versatile dining tool.
