This item is Groz-Beckert part #612631
Groz-Beckert is a German company, but their needles are actually made in Portugal. Most of the entire world market for felting needles is in German hands (even though Germany does not actually manufacture any felting needles any more). THIS IS FOR UNCUT NEEDLES. If you want to use them in our rooting tool, you must cut them. We sell an excellent pair of cutters for cutting them, as item #1140. They are the best we have ever tried for cutting these needles. We also sell a "Second Best" pair of cutters which are also pretty good (not as good as #1140, though), and about 1/4 the cost as #1140! Our SB Cutters ("Second Best") are item #1229.
