I ordered some of these last week and they came in today:
They look well made and solid. I mounted them on some arrows, went to the target and was very pleased with the way that they flew. They are not anywhere near hunting sharp out of the package so next comes the critical question of "how sharp can you get them?" The jury is still out on that one. I'm a "jig guy" when it comes to sharpening two blade heads - I'm not too proficient at freehanding. I got out my trusty Lansky but unfortunately it will not work on these heads - due to the offset blade configuration the stone will not match the bevel in any of the slots. So, it's either remove a lot of metal to create a new bevel or try another method. I think one of those KME self aligning jigs would work well so I will either have to buy one of those or just try to get better at freehanding with a file. If somebody has another suggestion I'd like to hear it.
