there was a lengthy discussion on a facebook group about these very same hooks....a lot of the same kind of comments and information about cast vs forged as well....... and apparently one person knew the guy that is having these made and selling them....

that could be the reason he edited the listing...... to reflect the "decorative" addendum....there is a tremendous liability issue with them....and he sells mostly comic books on eBay...?

As Rich69 pointed out..... ductile iron is stronger and more malleable than plain grey iron....but nowhere near the strength of forged steel....
