Varying degrees for many people as to what is sharp. I've had guys give me their knives and tell me their sharp and I thought they were duller than a popcorn fart. Hunting sharp to me might be dull to you and vica versa. Anyhow, I am not doubting your word But you can't disprove something that is a personal opinion. My .02

The difference in dimensions are as noted above, and the other difference is they cost about $10 more per 3 pack. I'd say Fred might be sharper than the broadheads.

I need another pack of broadheads like I need another hole in my head -
but I just have to get some of these!! I liked the old phantoms - when I really got back into bowhunting - but always thought they could be longer > well here ya go - have to get some!
No fixed blade head I have ever seen hunting ready out of a pack - and that is my opinion only - like has been said, what I think may no tbe what you think? but lets go hunting!
course I seen many that said they were???????????????

Never met a guy shooting a traditional bow that could make the edge sharper than they came from a factory. It's no big deal and something you will have to learn anyway. Those would not take long to do.

I'd have to agree with pdk25. I have a bald patch of skin on my arm that was caused by a Tuffhead that came directly out of the package razor sharp!

I shot the regular Phantoms last year, I bought several packs from the big auction site and they were pretty sharp.
I drew blood trying to get those dang bleeder blades off.
I could have easily killed a deer with them the way they were but I like my heads to be scary sharp so I touched them up on a diamond rod to get them the way I want them.

I think this is because the company that makes rage mechanical broadheads bought muzzy a couple months ago.

Nope, I will eat my words as I just ran across some Abowyer brown bearsI forgot I had - Yeah those jokers are SHARP out the pack got a scar to prove it. Not ever touched a tuffhead.
So apologies to Abowyer they are truly scary sharp out the pack.
Though I shot them in targets anyhow for a few shots each - then a quick strop on the paper wheels and they are back sharpie.
Still not hunted with em -

The Muzzy heads I've had came semi sharp, but much sharper than a stone point, and stone has done the job for hundreds of years, so sharp enough? is objective. Now the Thunderhead blades come REAL sharp! Like ready to shave yor face sharp.

I don't think I like the insert to be so close to the tip. Could stop it dead if you hit bone.

Try a tuffhead some time.
Or the older Silver Flames, haven't tried the newer ones.
