Daiichi produces a very fine hook. It is one we use quite a bit of in the shop because of smart designs and consistent quality. All Daiichi hook are made with high carbon steel that is hardened and tempered, producing are strong hook. All hooks are chemically sharpened and feature with a low profile bard, allowing for easier hook sets. Their finishes are also very clean and from box to box consistent. In short a high we highly recommend.
