Title: New Bear Razorhead VWS
Post by: NY Yankee on January 17, 2023, 10:33:00 AM
Did you try them this year? I'm wondering about your thoughts and experiences, sharpening, quality, etc?

Well I haven't used them as I don't shoot 2 blades often, and when I do I use WIDE ones.

However, they do look good and durable.

It'll make the same hole as a two blade Zwickey Eskimo but the Bear costs  more . I also wont use a two blade unless it is a wide one like the Simmons .

Looks like a well thought out design to me. Interested  in hearing from people that have used them as well.
Though I have No reason to change from what has worked very well for me over the years , doesn't mean I wouldn't purchase some  to support a great company , and try something New.

They look very well built , and should hold up very well. Look to be built much better than the old SS Razors , and I get a lot of usage from each of these .......being a 2 blade user myself.  Here is a  set of my heavy-weight SS Razors .......as this thread needs more pics ;)

They look nice, but at $70 for what is effectively three heads (yeah it come with the inserts and field points) what type of steel are they made of?

At that price I would expect a premium steel (similar to other high end broadheads), but I can’t find any place that says what these heads are made of other than a generic statement of “stainless steel “.

I believe there’s lots of better broadheads made in the U.S. that are a lot more affordable. Made in China for pennies in the dollar. I’m not a fan.
I still use vintage Bear razorheads I buy for a few bucks a piece. Easy to sharpen, U.S. carbon steel. List goes on.
I’ve been waiting for Lusk to do a full review on these.

Not  being confrontational , but I "believe" he was asking for user feedback . Not really reasons for not liking/purchasing them.  :dunno:

I would have thought that out if so many folks on here that someone would have tried these. Guess it’s a tough market with all the choices.  :archer2:
