The two pair my bro-in-law got us is a "his and hers" set as well.
My pair are slightly longer than hers, and red and black laquer vs
blue and black for hers. I really like the rough tips for picking

The other day I saw a guy at a sushi bar with stainless steel chopsticks.
Probably very slippery with sashimi.
