Your book looks very tempting indeed and much needed in English for new

on line you'd be able to get it though.

Not the sharpest one, but it fits great in the hand and is heavy enough
to cut the pu-erh

The dullness protects you. Besides, you're trying to flake off
leaves, not slice right through them.
