A friend of mine needs to sharpen Burmese thorn needles and would like to purchase one of these MAL sharpeners.
Seen in early part of this video or the attached screen shots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Tl6ykXehg
Thanks for any leads on where to purchase.

That's actually a Universal, very similar, superb sharpeners, very hard to find, and sadly you just missed one: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=53187 I've seen several sell for £200 or more. (Later variants of the Universal are almost as good although lighter in construction and tend to be rather cheaper.)
MALs are better still, even rarer, and I'd expect to pay even more, unless very lucky!
