I used some a few years ago and found the tip rolled pretty easy. Don't know about the newer ones.

I used them for a couple years with no complaints. They get scary sharp and come that way. They don't rust and the price is right. I had no toughness issues with light bone contact or shooting at squirrels.
My setup later called for different head weights and I really liked testing all kinds of broadheads so I moved on. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again though.

They're good!
I shot these for awhile when I first started shooting a recurve maybe 3-4 years ago. I bought a 3 pack and shot them over and over. Have put down a bunch of critters with them and I still have 2 that I still use.
They're very easy to sharpen and if you have trouble sharpening them, you can send them anytime from January to June and Steelforce will sharpen them for free.

Cheap Smith's carbide V sharpener at Walmart. I drew some of those broadheads back through that little sharpener 6 times and it was shaving. Just use the carbide and not the ceramic. For some reason the ceramic V made them duller. Just super light pressure on the carbide V then strop and they will be hair poppin sharp.

Good heads, I've shot a number of deer with them without issue. As mentioned above, free sharpening in the off season. I've used the KME sharpeners, carbide sharpeners, and crock sticks on them.

I use the 180 gr Phat Head and they sharpen easily and they fly like darts out of my set up.

I shot my buck last year with them. I was very pleased with how well they flew and how well they penetrated out of my recurve. Come sharp out of the package and are not too hard to resharpen. You won't be disappointed with them.

Good heads....probably the best for the money.
Piece of advice...get the little wrench for taking the bleeders in and out. If you try to cut corners and use a set of needle nose pliers (like some dummy I could name), you'll booger up the tiny little lock rings and they won't go back together right.

I bought some off the classifieds and like the looks of them. As far as sharpening goes I have a Lansky,and they do very well. When you using a honing type system you can get the edge sharper and you take off a very limited amount of metal.

I think when I have to resharpen, I will use carbide sharpener and the finish with a leather strop that should get them scary sharp....
