I got 500 through Capt Hooks and another 1000 from an auction on Ebay, and I've only had a few that were misformed. I pulled them out and when I had 15-20 sent them back and they were replaced.

Sharpness yeah they are!!!!!!! Untangle a box of a 1000 and you'll find out LOL. There was talk that they're QC wasn't all that great and they were trying to fix it. Don't have any of the new stock to compare against. Considering that they replace the ones that were misformed I'll keep buying them.
