Id say these ones are sharp as anything ive ever used striaght from the packet. I dont know if the whole range of cryogen are as sharp though as i dont use them as much i love these hooks and i use atomic ones also. The esp are sharper becouse they are a very thin gauge but still plenty strong enough.

Gardner hooks are sharper than any esp hooks imo - had this discussion in a tackle shop not so long back, the chap behind the counter said the same esp till I did the finger ***** test - Gardner hook made me 🩸.

Gamakatsu 17211's for me.
They are sharp out of the packet and hold their sharpness superbly.
Not easy to find however.
I brought a lifetimes supply back from Thailand a few years back.

I have never found hooks sharper out of the packet than the now long gone Ace razor hooks, I know that the Angli g Iron and carp spirit sell identical patterns to the ace hooks but they are not as sharp. I find the sharpest now are the Nash pinpoint hooks, but they are difficult to resharpen.

I agree. Alot of sharper Hooks but they all turn over after a fish in my experience. Atomic are sharp enough but you can tell they are more durable
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
