That appears to be a Mustad 33823 ultra point hook. I quit using them once I heard that they outsource to China now.
Just a question about this. Gamakatsu is a Japanese company and always has been. Their hooks are, presumably, made in Japan.
What would cause you to buy Japanese hooks and ignore hooks made in China? Is it a quality thing or just a principle thing regarding a company outsourcing to China instead of using their own native facilities?
Interesting side note: Mustad's major business seems to have started out as Equine-related, with Horseshoe nails! They also make a bunch of other wire-based products such as paper clips, fence wire, thumb tacks and other wire. Just thought these were interesting facts
By the way, Mustad isn't an American company. They're Norwegian!
