These are great quality full saddle hackles. The majority of these feathers are true "sword" shaped feathers, great for flatwings and other saltwater streamers. They also have a good amount of bigger "webby" feathers on the back for palmering or tying half and half clousers minnows and other medium to large sized streamers. There are also varying amounts of thin feathers on the sides which have many uses. The main difference between these saddles and the Cordeiro Saddles is that these have a range of feathers on them, while the majority of the feathers on the Cordeiro Saddles are perfect swords.
