Never seen it before. Sounds slippery and not very good for eating. Plus

Not a gimmick. They are traditional in Korea and usually the default,
though wooden or bamboo chopsticks are used, too. My usual Korean
restaurant here in Düsseldorf provides metal chopsticks as a matter of
course. I have no problem using them, except with noodles.
