If you're used to the bamboo needles one finds in a knit shop, you will be disappointed. These are a very soft bamboo, and in any given set of 5, there will maybe one blunt tip and 1-2 slightly splintered tips. Actually, if you zoom in on the photo, you can see some of the tip shape variation!I used an emery board to smooth the splintered tips, and refine the shape of some of the blunt needles. I keep the emery board nearby as little splinters catch on yarn and become more splintered.Why do I bother? I choose this set because of the unique sizes (for example, one set is in between a 1 and 2, another between 2 and 3) and the short needle length. I still find them useful for making socks when I want to use a slightly smaller needle for the ribbing (or laced ribbing), but going down a full size is too much.
