Nice steel but there are many others things to use the money on.

Good looking.
Definitely have the COOL FACTOR.

but WAAAY too pricey for me.
To many other, more than good enough heads at a fraction of the price.

My thoughts are in this economy I would carry the less expensive heads.

I spent 20 years in Germany and love German craftsmanship and quality control. Having said that, I think an arrow head is designed to cut one time; on the way in, on the way out the other side and everything it runs into in between. I can re-sharpen the head after it's done the job. These are made of 440B stainless steel which is being marketed as a "super steel". That's one of the more common stainless steels used in medium quality knife blades.

Nice blades to be sure, but I think I'll save a bit of money and stay with my Zwickey's and Woodsman Elites.

As Bladepeek said the 440b is questionable and aluminum in a broadhead eventually bends.
They definately have the looks and maybe the precision but the materials are less than optimum for longevity IMO.
We have many excellent broadheads when combined with a steel bha that will serve us well when we need screw in heads.
