I just got the new cone hone hook sharpner from Mister twister. I wanted to try it out on the new out of the package gamakatsu hooks to see if the sharpner works as well as it claims. The point does get a lot sharper then out of the box but it seems that it will also weak the tip, I wont know till I go out and test the hook on a fish but the sharpner shure does make a nice needle point.
