You are right, not much on them Dave.. but the picture (location below)
reminds me of Aji Yuquitania type peppers.  Other research suggests you
may subsitute malagueta pepper
Substitutes:  jalapeno (not as hot) OR tabasco.

Gernot Katzer's Spice Pages suggest a completely different plant.

Any who... this is what I could find on them..

Picture of them..

Describes them heat wise..

Still use the chopsticks you made.. they are great cooking/eating tools!

All the best
