This hook looks classy and classical with its heavy wire and Limerick bend. It's not bronzed like this type of hook usually is, but surface treated with a black layer that makes it very close to stainless like the Kamasan B840. It is also extremely sharp and seems to hold this sharpness for a long while. This is an excellent choice for salt water versions of classics such as Red Tag Palmer, but I have also used it for newer flies such as The Kluting and the Bjarke as seen on the bottom of the this page about eyes.
