Same here. Mustad stainless were very brittle. I would always use their 3x tinned Siwash. I have heard that Norway's strict enviro laws forced them to change their metallurgy, so they may not be as strong as they used to. I stopped using their trebles quite some time ago, but I had a huge stash of their tinned Siwash hooks from the 1980s.
