Cheers I've looked high and low. Basically $15 is about as low as it goes for those hooks. I decided to make my own instead. See the pic.

Whats so special about them? Producing these should be much easier than a trigger hook, for example.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
busted Report post Posted March 15, 2012 Wow.... Whats so special about them? Producing these should be much easier than a trigger hook, for example.... If I were you I would go to a local welding supply shop and find some 1/8" brazing rod without white flux on it; it is made with a white flux coating on it too. Good luck.

Cheers I am not sure what your application is but Brass Pelican Hooks for boats are almost the same and they have a lock. Look for the Pelican hooks made in Sweden they are labeled with a big Sweden text on the side. But 15 is the going rate if you don't have the right stuff to make them, buying them is much less of a headache for sure:) Those are some sweet hooks and the Japanese do make some sick metal stuff...so you can't go wrong with knifes of hooks or tools from japan...they have been specialized for 1,000's of years in metal work.
