I'm of Norwegian descent, my surname ends in "sen"...all I can say is that I favor that hook brand for that reason alone and you don't have to. I did get peeved when the 9671 series went phoofht-phooey...it was and is a favorite of mine. But..I do have enough to last me. The smaller 94840 in sizes #24 or so always worked well for me.
