Like Chopsticks with Training Wheels...
I grew up in the midwest, which didn't give me a lot of opportunity to learn or practice chopstick technique; this resulted in a rather steep learning curve once I moved to California and discovered that I love sushi. So maybe it's with folks like me in mind that Lincoln Kayiwa came up with the Tukaani - a bent-metal springy eating utensil reminiscent of a giant safety pin, but functionally more like chopsticks with training wheels. Is it really easier to use? Tough to say without trying, but it sure looks like it. And it's elegant enough - thanks to those gentle swooping curves, that it wouldn't be a complete embarassment to use, even in the company of chopstick masters.

Much cooler than Forkchops

Ha! I agree, these are much cooler than Forkchops - though they aren't without their own peculiar charm. Whereas these are training wheels, those are safety nets!
I would like to suggest to make your own training chopstick, turning a pair of disposable chopsticks into a training set is as easy and rolling up the paper wrapper and binding them with a rubber band—great for teaching not only yourself but also your friends on how to use personalized chopsticks.
