Really love how strong but how light they to use. The only negative for me is that the quality of the plating of the tips is only a few microns thick and wears throw to copper base metal by the time I have finished one jumper.
I have been considering buying a set of needles for some time after using the wooden versions. This boxed set is really nice to look at and I have been able to add 2 more sizes. A plus point is that the needles are replaceable. Some sets come with special finishes which are not replaceable. The set is expensive but I hope it will last a long time and I will have many years of pleasure using them.

I use these all the time--Knit Pro Karbonz are the best! Solid needles!
I have been knitting for more years than I care to remember and knit pro are the best product I have ever used . Gone are the straight needles as these tips are excellent and worth the money.
The Rolls Royce of needles, will definitely be buying more sizes.
These tis are definitely a cut above the normal wooden tips that I have been using for years, sooo smooth with a better junction of cable and tip. worth the extra dosh.
excellent product. I have used knit pro needles for quite a long time but not the circular karbonz tips. They are just as good as the straights and I will add a few more sizes to my collection.
I love the feel of these needles. The brass tips are very pointy - great for lace work. I haven't had an issue with the yarn catching on the needles as the previous reviewer has, so perhaps is the actual needles she has? I'm ordering a couple more as I really like these, although I prefer the Addi locking system to Knitpro.
I haven't tried these for a whole project yet, just completed a tension square and then needed to go up a size, but I didn't find them as good as the less expensive KnitPros in the sampler set I also purchased. The lace weight yarn I was using seemed to catch on the join between the carbon fibre and the metal tips sometimes, which was annoying. Maybe they are better on other yarns?
Best needles ever used.
