Dear Arachnes,
I have that tool, by Mr. Pikul (mine has a lovely
"cocobolo" wood handle), and he sells them with a
bit of clear tube cap over the hook end. No stabbing!
I also have a sewing hook bought in Spain, made
by an English vendor (the name escapes me), which
has a bent tip, and is fantastic for fine-thread
sewings. Think of Witch Stitch lace, with all
those sewings! This gentleman offers a version
with the hook opening pointing up or down, at the
customers' choice. Perhaps Antje González or any
other of our Spanish members can give more info about it.

I assume there must be some sort of cover that
goes over the end you are not using? Otherwise
there would be a danger of stabbing your hand
with the hook - especially if it is a fine one.
