I purchased these to tie up some hare's ear nymphs. I have not found any mgf issues with them, I have not broken any in the vise like I have in the past with some other brands. This is quickly becoming my go to hook.
I would rate this on par with other discount brand hooks on the market. They are sharp but I've found them to be brittle. I've had a couple break in the vise. You get a lot for the money but don't expect the quality of the higher end hooks.
I have been looking for hooks to replace Dai-Riki and these are the best I have in terms of price and quality. I have not had any problems with malformed or brittle hooks (I used to get several with open eyes with Dai-Riki). I have only had one break but that is because my cat was chewing on it while it was still in the vice. I have never had problems with sharpness. I have bought them in sizes 10-18 and plan on using them as my regular nymph hook.
