Hi Rick: I'm not sure how this works without knowing the choice of other participants otherwise there is the possibility of duplication of popular style and size. Does each participant receive 1000 hooks? Are the hooks genuine Dai-riki (not to be confused with Daiichi) or a chinese knock-off? The hook number system appears similar to Dai-Riki's. I looked at the hopper style but they are $70.44 per 1000.
When Dai-Riki first came out (Dan Baileys) they were made in Japan, then later in Korea, now ???? Mustad hooks are now made in China and Mustad have been hemorrhaging big $ and have just been taken over by another Norwegian company or financial group. Although I still use certain Mustad and Partridge hooks (made in the same Chinese Mustad owned chinese factory) I must admit that I don't have the same confidence that I have with a japanese hook. Maybe it is because the Japanese made such good swords and their steel is excellent.
