Never seen it before. Sounds slippery and not very good for eating. Plus
cold. I'd say a gimmick.

It's the real deal blacksalt. My ex didn't use them in our house but if we
ate at any of her families' homes or friends' it was metal chopsticks and a
large metal soup spoon.
Here in Colorado Korean restaurants (both little family places and the up
scale) don't do the metal though. I'm reasonably adept with chopsticks for
an Occidental and I find the metal ones harder to use.
