Sure, these are silly, and they cost a lot more than standard disposable picks, but they are little copper swords! Fun and sturdy, these are well-made, much heavier than I expected. The pics are sharp and stiff, and the detail on the handles is crisp and cleanly defined. Plus they are re-usable, so over time, you'll save money over those disposable skewers. Really takes your presentation game up a notch for cocktails.See full review
