Would these be any good?

They look the part but I would want a bit of description. How long are they, what diameter and what profile are the splines? Eg are they square etc.

Be more tempted by these

Sorry just read it again. Using iPad which can be iffy on some websites. It does give the dimensions and these are small fry compared to those in the thread and which I have got. Mine are 55cm length and 8mm diameter. Up to you but I did wonder what these were at that price for 6

I picked up some skewers for a quid each in Tooting. Half inch flat steels with a couple a twists for a handle.(no wood involved)
They work great! No more spinning meat for me.

Goncalo and anyone else struggling to find ingredients or equipment used in Indian restaurants, why dont you ask in your local restaurant/t.a?
If they cant source the items for you, then they'll surely point you in the right direction.
