At last knitting needles that are extra smooth but structured with an ergonomic surface, especially suited to arthritic hands that do not twist against the hand. 
The ergonomic surface ensures that stitches do not fall off the needles so quickly and unintentionally.
The long tappered tip shape is suitable for knitting many stitches together at once.  There is perfect transition from the tip of cable with extra light tips.
Size and length are written in black on the highly flexible cord.
I now use these needles, for effortless holding, my arthritic hands are not as painful and can knit for a greater length of time.  Highly recommended.
