A Mysterious Kitchen Tool to Some, But Not to Me!

Every once in a while I scan certain blogs just to see what’s new in the world of food. When I came across a post on ‘Taste of Beirut’ recently, I became very excited. Joumana, the Taste of Beirut blogger, wrote about a ‘mysterious kitchen tool’ where she asked her readers if they could identify it. Immediately I knew it was a manti-cutting tool, and that it was a MUST-HAVE in my Armenian kitchen. Before I had a chance to send my thought, someone else commented that it looked like a manti rolling tool. And it was – the Mantimatic! (How could you not love that name?? Mantimatic…it just rolls off your tongue!)

I posted my own comment to Joumana  asking where – in the United States – would I  be able purchase one. (Joumana bought hers in Beirut.) She kindly wrote back suggesting I might find one in an Armenian store in Los Angeles or Glendale, CA. Well, since I live in south Florida, making a trip to California to search for a mantimatic was simply out-of-the-question. Instead I put out my feelers to cousins and friends who live on the west coast. The results of those inquiries were unsuccessful, so I contacted Armenian-Middle Eastern stores and wholesalers from South Florida to New York City to San Francisco and came up empty handed.

Now it’s my turn to ask my readers for help:

If you'll recall, my first try at making manti wasn't all that succuessful - it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either. Perhaps making dough from scratch and having a precise cutting device, would improve my next attempt.

With that in mind, can anyone reading this please tell me where -or- how  can I purchase a mantimatic?
Any thoughts and/or  information regarding a source would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone!
