Designing a better stick

I'm posting these because, first ,I saw them both today, and second, why are people always trying to make better chop-sticks? THEY'RE A PAIR OF STICKS! Anyways, this first one is cool looking, but I hold mine towards the far end, so I'm not sure how these would work holding the metal part.

The "choplery" seen here is another attempt at solving for the American lack in understanding how to use a simple device. But like on the site where I found these, it would be better if they started as chopsticks, THEN converted to traditional utencils. So once you realized you could do no more than shovel food off the edge into your mouth, you cold save grace and eat properly
