Those Mustads aren't stainless. They're a tinned hook, and much, much stronger than Mustad's stainless ones. Mustad stainless Siwash hooks are crap--especially the open eyed ones. The eyes get brittle and break way too easily.

And Mustad tinned Siwash are the only ones I use. I find that the VMCs aren't as strong, and rust way too soon for what they cost.
