In my experience, these needles are better suited for saddle stitching compared to John James needles for two reasons:

Blunt round point needle head 

Doesn't easily catch leather fibres when pushing through the stitching holes on your workpiece. 

The blunt rounded tip doesn't scratch and damage leather surface when you're being a little careless.

Channeled thread hole

The recessed thread loop allows the thread to sit into the channel, reducing the girth of the knot. This allows the butt of the needle to pass through stitching holes easily.

Picked up 2 sizes as a test

I’ve been using John James needles and they are quite good. I’m happy with them. But several leather workers I know highly recommended the S+U & since I was getting a new size set of pricking irons (JunLin 5mm diamond) I grabbed 2 sizes & tested them out. I find the eye a bit easier to thread vs JJ and all the edges on these are nicely rounded. Top notch needles. Will use going forward compared to John james

Nice needles!

I like these needles. A nice change from my JJ's and they don't draw blood!
