I'm knitting the Denmark socks on square 6" DPNs by Kollage.
These are 3.25s but I don't know how you measure that. According to the Kollage website, most knitters go up a size to get the same gauge but when I originally swatched this yarn (Lorna's Laces Shepherd sport) I got the same gauge on traditional 3.25s. It's true that you don't notice the squareness when you're knitting with them and they seem less inclined to slip than most aluminum needles. They're not as nice to work with as the Signature needles but they're also a fraction of the cost and I can buy them locally.
The points are quite blunt, which is fine for most projects but it would be nice it they also came in a stiletto point so you could use them for lace. They're also available only is US sizes, which isn't the end of the world, but it would be nice if they were available in all sizes.
