Hi
MA. I don't know where you live maybe I'm just lucky living in Noth Staffs. Just go to your local Asian whole salers or grocers or even the hard ware shop and you will be falling over the damned things.

Hi
London. First off I'd see if you have a local catering surpliers where you could handle the blades to feel the balance. What works for me may not feel right for you. Also for the cost of one that "you have set your heart on" a very bad way to chose. You could start to build a professional set. I've found these to be good hard working blades that others even with little knife skills can use. I myself buy across different brands the best one that suits me but if mail order is your only option there worth a call. I first came across them when my local store had an order for thousands of them to a new hotel in the UAE.

Hi
I've had in the Birmingham area what I term a "wet balti" with whole Star A, C bark, A bay, green cardamon and even a little piece of dried orange peel. On tasting it was the ground GM that gave the flavours and they were there just for show. I looked at my friend and asked about people eating them and she said Asian people eat with there eyes open and don't just shove it down there mouths.
