I also think the VMC hooks are a lot harder or it could be the coating so the point stays very sharp a lot longer and thus does more damage to the wood. You can see it when you cut the VMC's and sometimes get breakage. Too hard. Metal on wood will always be won by you know what. Too sharp

I always keep my hooks as sharp as possible so I like that I don't always have to keep sharpening it.

I think the reason is wood has gotten too soft
