Why... mine do not come from china

[Poolie]

It's almost certain that if that is the case, at least part of them do. Sleep tight.

No need to mine do not come from China but thanks for the free unsolicited advice anyway. IF you bothered to read my original post I was referring to all the 'cheap sh*te on the market' anyway not high priced electrical items like laptops and smart phones.

If you buy cheap, you get cheap. In any country.

I agree Poolie.

Just love those designer clothes. Bought some shorts t'other day. And the best pair of strides I have bought here were made in Mexico; according the the label. Not cheap. Lucky to find them.

Bought a chog-chog on the cheap. turned out to be rubbish. Got blunted first time out. But on the upside, I bought a battery operated hair-cutter from China, that has does the bizzo once a month. I use it for trimming me beard and eyebrows also. Bought a ceramic knife in Big C. Cheap at 49 baht. Reduced from 99 baht. What quality!

I'm always on the look out for those special bits and bobs. Don't matter if they are new, second, or third hand even; as long as the quality is there. Hats, chairs, clothing, light bulbs etc. But sometimes I come a cropper. Got an electric clock in the 20 baht shop last year. Just wouldn't keep good time. Gave it away in the end. Waste of money that was.

Those ceramic knives are great.  Sharp as a razor but you have to be careful with them.  They dislike hitting bone or anything hard but great for fruit, veg or boneless meat. 

Never figured out how to sharpen them properly tho. Might need a specialist stone or something. 

I also got battery powered clippers. Rechargeable from Lazada. Panasonic branded. The missus uses them for my monthly hair cut and prefers them over corded clippers like Wahl. 

Picked up a good 2nd hand Japanese catering knife a few months back. 450 baht but holds a good edge.  A bit prone to surface rust but if it's oiled and it's fine.
