they need their finish to be more durable and NOT scrape off the inside of the eye because of the split ring,,,

They look strong. I'll be interested to see how they compair in weight to the 4x permasteel. I'll probably continue to use the permasteel hooks on 75% of my hooks because m&d's sells them at such great prices they're almost disposable but I need an alternative for some plugs that I fish infrequently or that need cut hooks.

Nice Shape

But how many sharpenings before that fancy point is useless?

I like that I can sharpen regular VMCs frequently and easily.

They need to make their 4X not bend so easily.
