The Forté interchangeable knitting needle set is ChiaoGoo's attempt to produce both a luxury needle set and finally some hardwood needles. While their first attempt failed, the second version exchanged the blackwood for carbon in smaller sizes.
They are manufactured flawlessly and the (fake) leather pouches also spell premium. However, it's the final detail where this set fails: The tips are kind of squarish and not as sharp as the standard needles. The new swivel cables constantly catch the yarn and, at least in my set, quality control didn't spot some obvious flaws. If the set was half the price, I could definitely recommend it to looser kniters who prefer simpler patterns. As it is, I cannot recommend buying the ChiaoGoo Forté set.
