Default Chinese Trousse with what?

Usually these have a knife and chopsticks but these look more like knitting needles. What are they?

Ever seen another like it? I have searched quite a bit and not found one. Artzi has sold about 40 of these and all had chopsticks.

Sure, no problem.

Considering the not so great fit of these needles in the scabbard, I'd also guess these were recently added to obtain a "complete" set.

Actually, the fit of the knitting needles is nearly perfect. I tried several types of chopsticks and none would go in more than half an inch.
