Other reviews (and the product photo) show the included needle gauge only measured as small as a size 2, despite the fact that this set goes down to size 0. That has been corrected. Mine came with a needle gauge that fit in the pocket, but measures down all the way to 0. [I posted a picture of mine and have requested Amazon update their product photo] The gauge is a really nice touch. It comes in handy, especially if you can't read the sizing on the needles. The pocket it comes in is also a great touch. Nice place to stash stitch markers, cable needles and darning needles. The zippers have nice large pulls and make them easy to use.
I bought many a set of needles, including bamboo, nickel, brass and plastic. I really like stainless steel for a needle material. It is not slippery like glass, but it lets the knitting slide nicely when it needs to. It feels nice in the hands and unlike brass needles, doesn't leave an odor on your hands. I would describe these needles as relatively sharp. They are great for getting in lace stitches. They aren't sharp enough to hurt my hands when knitting with them, but they aren't dull points by any standard. I don't find them any more likely to split yarn than other needles, but this may be due to technique or habit. Your mileage may vary.
I find these needles to be a great value. I have paid more for a set in a much larger, less convenient and not as well thought-out case, with no stitch markers or needle gauge. It is obvious to me given the changes between the version shown here and the version I got that they have taken comments of actual users to heart. I would highly recommend them.

The case is cute, and it'll protect the set in a bag. The included needle gauge is ok, but does not measure below a size 2. These needles go down to a zero. The mfg makes an 8 inch gauge that does go that small, and even smaller, but it is 8 inches and would not fit in the case. I painted a stripe of nail polish on the shaft of each needle. Different color for each set/size. I may not be able to measure the gauge, but at least I will know which needles go together. If I find the polish interferes w the knitting (has not yet), I can just remove it from the steel wo harming the needle.
The needles come in a wonderful, zippered carrying case. On the inside, each pocket is labeled with the US size and the mm sizing. The set also comes with a needle gauge. While some reviews, and even the product photograph, say the gauge doesn't measure smaller than the US 2 (2.75mm), this is an old version. The gauge I received in fact measures all the way down to the US 0 needle. This is handy for other needles I have from other brands where I can no longer read the size written on it.
Overall, I'd buy this item again in a heartbeat and would gift it to anyone who wants sock knitting needle set!
