Make kindling with eating utensils? (10)

I believe the answer is:

chopsticks

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eating utensils?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'make kindling' is the wordplay.
'make' becomes 'chop' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'kindling' becomes 'sticks' (I've seen this in another clue).
'chop'+'sticks'='CHOPSTICKS'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chopsticks that I've seen before include "Eating aid - simple piece for piano" , "eating utensils" , "simple piano melody" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
