Crochet hooks- a review

I recently made a purchase on Etsy for crochet hooks, and I am so totally impressed with them, that I wanted to write a review to share with you.
I purchased a set of  14 carbonized bamboo crochet hooks from suhangsupplies. Now, anyone who has used regular bamboo hooks can tell you that they have a lot of "drag" to them. In other words, friction. I have two regular bamboo hooks I bought at the LYS that I loathe. Seriously. They seem to make my work 10 times harder. But I REALLY want to love bamboo! It is a renewable resource, and natural material, and it just makes sense to me that it would be better for me to use bamboo instead of the aluminum I've been using.
Enter carbonization. When the bamboo is carbonized, it hardens quite a lot. And smooths out (or perhaps they were just sanded? Not sure on that one.) Anyway, when I received these hooks, and took them out of the pack, the first thing I thought was, "Oh my, these are NOTHING like the hooks I already have!" I have been seriously impressed with how hard and smooth they are.
They also have a really deep throat, and a really pointy tip. These two things are very hard to find together. I have some Boye hooks with decent tips, but really shallow throats, so the yarn slips off about every third stitch or so. This is why I refuse to use them! :)  I also have some Susan Bates aluminum hooks with a nice, deep throat. I love them way more than Boye, but the tips are just not as pointed as I would like for some projects.
If you've ever wanted to try bamboo hooks, or if you tried regular ones and hated them, then I strongly recommend you try these. I got 14 hooks, size 3mm to 10mm for $19 plus shipping. I think it's safe to say I have a new favorite hook!
