    I can't find any info on these forks. Stamped stainless Japan on the back. I don't know if the handles are ivory? IMG_20160404_144006746~01.jpg

    They probably came from a Chinese restaurant - for the folks who don't know how to eat with chopsticks.

    If made in Japan with stainless tines, I doubt they are either ivory or bone.

    The handles are probably plastic. REAL ivory chopsticks are extremely expensive. I don't think anyone but an idiot would cut them in half to make forks out of them.
