Favorite cable needles!
These are my new favorite cable needles.  The surface of the needles is slightly rough and there is a dip in the middle.  Between those two features, the stitches stay on the needle, yet are still easy enough to get off.  The roughness seems to have been created during the finishing process.  It is NOT rough wood.  The yarn does not fray or get stuck on the wood. I think I own every type and brand made, but I found these in my local knitting store then ordered two more sets on Amazon because my local store had only one set. I love these, and doubt there is a better pair out there for me.
