Why I'm happy using the hooks I do. Every hook is checked and put into a foam sleeve in the packet. A lot cheaper than the big brands and as good if not better

Surely if hand sharpened hooks is of such importance to people, they learn to do it themselves, rather than pay extra for someone else to do it. We spend enough time on the bank waiting around, theres plenty of time to do it, and just learn on old hooks.

I spent 10 years doing it myself. Absolute ball ache. When the JH ones came out it was a revelation. The time it took to do them was worth more to me than the few quid extra to buy them done.

I do personally. Any downtime watching tele or on the bank I'll sharpen hooks and use earring backs to protect them

Never used them and never will. The hooks I use only cost me £1.99 a pack and have all been sharp enough for my liking.

do all the hooks have to align like reel handles?
Are you sure?
