Review on High-quality Stainless Steel Lacing Needles in Two Different Sizes (Stainless Steel) by Heather Shaw

As a knotter, I used bobby pins, yarn needles, rope, pliers, tweezers, lacing needles, etc. to make tying cord easier. My favorite tool used to be a pin, kind of like those needles: the tip looks like a cotter pin with a very small eyelet, and the spine is a pair of pliers with gripping teeth that lock in place with a sliding metal tube. The tube is key as many tweezers have a Saturn-like ring that doesn't offer a streamlined profile as you thread the needle through your knots. These needles have a sharper point that goes through more places than the little loop at the top of my bandage. For me the tip could have been a bit blunter so the needles wouldn't snag or tear the cords when tying, but there are compromises with everything and that's probably not an issue with paracord or leather cord, so plus I could always get a few more and bring them the file.
