Are the new grizzs as hard as the old ones???

I have some 160s coming (my favorites) I use paper wheels after flattening the backs, then strop on cardboard. usually poppin hair within minutes.

Sounds good Kyle, you're on top of it! I speak from my past concerning temper, as I know that I have affected the temper of some of my BH's, ignorantly I might. I have made them brittle to the point where edges roll back and break, etc.. Anyway…..

J-dog,

The new Grizzly's temper is not as hard as some of the old ones...I should say they are consistent and very sharpenable. Years ago (10-15 yrs.) I had some 160 gr. Grizzly's that a brand new mill bastard couldn't put a scratch on, so I know what you're talking about. The new ones should be right around R52 (Rockwell hardness), I believe. You will not be disappointed!

Yeah Kris - those were the good ones! HAH!

Nah really they were a pain in the behind if ya wanted to do the 25 thing like Ashby says. I figured many just got sharpened as is out of the package.
Kinda waiting to see some of the new ones - hopefully tommorrow they will come in.

Thanks

Sharpster,

One "TOP SECRET PM" to me as well please. We have talked over the phone before and am happy with the sharpness I get with my Grizzly’s. I am always open minded to all good information though and would love to hear again what you have to say. That's what makes this fun!

harpster,
Can I get a PM also. I recently got some grizzly heads and the KME knife sharpener, and I am obviously sharpening challenged!

you opened the door, now, Sharpster! ha ha. I have your broadhead sharpener as well and can't figure out how you sharpen such a long blade like the grizzly on your stones. I can get my abowyers perfect after some practice shots very easily, but the grizzlies are brutal!

I set up a file on a 1x2" board as shown in the Tusker website just to get the 25degree bevel then use the KME knife sharpener...PR
