metal needles
Sharp sewing implements
Metal needles are slender, pointed implements made of steel, aluminum, or other metals, used for sewing, knitting, medical injection, or industrial purposes.
The term distinguishes them from needles made of bone, wood, or plastic: She prefers metal needles for knitting because they're smoother.
In medical contexts, metal needles are the sharp components of syringes and IV lines.
