A pair of chopsticks can be seen as levers, where the food acts as a load, and the points of support lie between the thumb and index finger. For effective use, the chopsticks must be held properly.

The two primary methods of holding chopsticks include the “pinch” method, which is more precise, and the “scissor” grip, which can be cumbersome due to the chopsticks being positioned outward.
