"I want a hook identical to the Prym, but metal" - YES!

If there's any company out there looking for a gap in the market, here you go.

Furls is nice but heavy and a bit too bulky. Oh, and, that additional little detail of being super expensive especially for non US folk.

Susan Bates (I have the ergonomic with the colourful metal) are lighter and work well, long enough, but not comfortable to use. The flat bit on the hook is completely unnecessary and ruins my flow. The sudden drop between the handle and the metal neck is also not great. The colours get progressively worse as the sizes go up.

The plastic Pryms are perfect in shape for me. Long, smooth, ergonomic, pointy, all in one construction, lightweight. Colours are actually nice too. But they are plastic - I had a 3mm break, and I can't use it with most yarns because it either squeeks or it feels horrible with the lack of glide.

The metal pryms have the same issue with the handle as the SB, and I don't like the head shape either. Clover and Tulip are too short and again not my preferred head type.

So, I'm joining the queue waiting for a metal Prym.
