My late father in law was a dentist, some good needles there, got a few from
a doctor friend too, but some of the best and most unusual come from my
brother in law who worked in a morgue. Think about it, they gotta sew
through some tough flesh and unusual cuts that may not be very giving. Not
man small needles, but some really good, sharp, strange but effective
curves.
