grizzly stick broadhead closeout

[Highlandwarrior]

What do people think of these especially the silverflame and samurai? I know the original German silverflame are preferred but getting ahold of them isn't easy, so how have these been performing?

I use the 150 grain samurai. Have killed two deer, one antelope and several pigs with them this year. They seem to do more damage than some other broadheads I have used. Exit wound is large. Some find the curved samurai difficult to sharpen.  I find them easy to sharpen by hand on diamond stones.  The single bevel sharpening tool sold gets the Samurai close to sharp enough in the field.

What is curved on the samurai? Looks like a straight ashby style BH to me. Anyone have any experience with the maasai heads?

[Highlandwarrior]

The reason I was asking was because they are having a close out sale right now and you can get these for about $50 shopping included- however thanks to this stupid phone app it appeared that was for 12 BH's which is what was shown under quantity. When I went into the actual page it showed as only 3. Less excited now and I should have known. Where's my dunce cap?

[Doc Nock]

Having priced some of those before, I'm guessing it was perhaps 12 available and the price on sale was $50/shipped for their standard 3 pack?

They always seemed to be offered in 3 packs... for more then $50 though...still beyond my pockets!  :(

[Highlandwarrior]

Yes that is indeed what it was. Problem was when it came up on the app it showed number available 10+ and right below it it showed quantity 12. But then you click in it to order and it shows as a 3pk.

Money no object for BH choice I'm still impressed beyond belief by original German Silverflames.  Can't speak for the Grizzlystik versions (think they are made to spec but in Asia??)  

The German ones are the sharpest out of the box broadheads I've ever handled, and I mean "wipe" the hair off your arm sharp.  The steel appears to be top quality with some really deft tempering and sharpening.  These are the only heads I've handled where I was a little nervous about getting careless handling them.  I have not torture tested but I have seen reports that they are very durable when going up against bone.  That being said, my go-to for cost effectiveness and to practice sharpening skills are Woodsmans and Magnus Stingers.

I once had some original sf. They were awesome and like you said scary sharp. Have heard these ones don't match up tho. Was hoping to get some first hand info

Oops.  Don't know how I double posted.  Seems to have happened when I did not exit and returned later in the day.  Highland warrior, you are correct.  I have the curved Maasai BHs.
