    Donald,

    I've used them for a number of years and always found them to be quality hooks. Very sharp out of the box and not too brittle.

    Yes fine hooks a little hard to get in USA ,for me. I like their midge hooks wide gap with excellent holding power.

    Donald,

    I got some a few years ago in #28. I would say they're sharp, but that would be an understatement! Very high quality hook. Can't figure out what's going on with the U.S. market with these hooks - should have taken off like wildfire?

    Best regards, Dave S.

    think they are of Czech manufacture. I hope to try their curved hook for
    Tenkara fliers.
