[herb haines]

RASTAMAN ,
  a friend of mine uses a sharpener called an edge pro they are expensive but will sharpen all your equipment he says they will put the edge back on them .
after saying this i have sole exactly 2 packs of replacement blades .also a lot of multiple kills with a single blade . these things are sharp .
i have bought 8 packs of the 1 7/8 "  185 gr blades from Marcus as far as i know the last he has and the last he will be making at least 4 are spoken for .i have lots of the 150 gr and will have a few 125 gr in stock but the 100 ,180 and 210 are getting scarce ---- herb

I have not shot anything with them yet but 150 grain Silver Flames will be going with me in August of this year on the end of a 670 gr arrow to Namibia Africa.  I figure for that once in a lifetime hunt I should have the best!
I also think that I got them sharper then they came from the factory.  I put some White Rouge on an old leather belt and stropped them then dipped them in "Protect an Edge" from 3Rivers.

The Silver Flame is my favorite broadhead. I was able to test all 3 2blade broadheads I wanted to try this year in Oklahoma. My impressions were that the STOS left a great wound channel, but I wasn't overly impressed with the penetration, it seemed to me that that particular arrow could've passed through, but something weird might've happened. The tip bent even though nothing very heavy was hit. The Eclipse penetrated exceptionally both times I used it on a deer, but both wound channels were poor (strange I know). The Silver Flame happened to dead center a doe's spine at a slightly quartering-to angle. It severed a rib on impact and continued on to sever the spine (it hit it dead on, cutting just about the largest amount of bone possible at that angle). The head cleared the vertebrae and penetrated a few inches further, nearly exiting the offside. This was with a 52#@30" DAS recurve with arrows weighing only 435 grains. Now I know this isn't scientific, but I'm confident at this point that the Silver Flame is the broadhead I want on the end of my arrows from now on.
I found something the next morning that was even more surprising. After pulling the broadhead back out, I cleaned the arrow off and prepared to resharpen it. Out of curiosity I attempted to shave my arm with it, and found that it still popped hair off my arm effortlessly!
They are an excellent broadhead well worth the price.

A friend of mine shot a small pig with one and somehow broke the point off, the portion after the ferrule stops.  He was quite disappointed at $25 a pop.

As I understand it the Silver Flames cost 75 bucks for 3 of them. they are sharp right out of the package and I guess they are very sharp, But what are their other qualities other than being sharp. My magnus's are very sharp also I have to shapen them myself,  but it only takes a few minutes per head to get them at least twice as  sharp as they need to be. and I get 6 magnus's for the price of 1 silverflame, it seems kind of crazy to me to think that if you spend enough money success will come. Most any coc broadhead in the weight you need is going to be more than enough,

I bought a dozen a couple of years ago and have killed over 40 animals with them. I still have 6 in the package as I have yet to damage one of the origanil 6 I started out using. Leftieshot I don't have a clue what happened to your buddy. I shot through a Mountain Reedbuck and into a concrete tank. it knocked a chuck out of the concrete and didn't break the head
