I regard Clover crochet Amure/Amour crochet hooks as the absolute best. They are very comfortable to use and the hooks are always smooth and yarns glides across them.
Clover sells the hooks separately and in two different sets, the “Amure” set of eight hooks sold in Japan and the “Amour” set of ten hooks sold in America. You might think that you are getting the same eight hooks plus two more in the Amour set, but no, it’s not that simple.
This No. 5/0 Amure hook is not part of the American Amour set. It is a 3.00mm, The Amour set includes a 2.75mm and a 3.25mm, so this is just in between.
The Japanese use a numbering system in addition to the millimeter sizing. The Numbers 1/0, 2/0, etc. relate to the mm size, going up 0.5 mm for each number in front of the slash. So a 4/0 is a 2.5mm and a 5/0 is a 3.00mm and a 6/0 is 3.5mm. FYI, the 2.5 mm is also not included in the American Amour set and must be purchased separately if you want one.
I had three sets of the Amour hooks, so I purchased this separately to add.
I received it from Japan very quickly and securely packaged.
FYI, there are a lot of cheap imitations of the Clover Amour hooks available. They are not as good and you are better off paying more.
Also, I should add that the Tulip Etimo hooks (also made in Japan) are also very good and some people might actually prefer them. I have numerous sets of both Clover and Tulip, and I use both. The Tulip come in gorgeous sets, great for collectors, and I just like to use different colors and styles to break the monotony. I crochet all the time as I donate about 100 chemo caps a year.
