Curved Beading Needles?

I just discovered that Needlepoint Tool Time carries something I'd never heard of--curved beading needles from John James.  I can't tell from the photo if the points are blunt or sharp, but if you like scooping beads onto a needle (particularly if you are adding a string of beads to your canvas), you'll want to ask Needlepoint Tool Time for further information about these.  They appear to be size 10, which should go through a size 11 bead well.  They may not work with size 14-15 beads.  Bead sizes aren't standard and some brands have larger holes than others.
