I am absolutely confident in Zwickey Delta 2 Blade Heads. I find them Very Easy to get VERY Sharp, Hold an edge well, and these things are Tough!
If you install them correctly, making sure they "spin" perfectly true, they will fly true as well.
I also enjoy the "Campfire Ritual" of using a good file, and a quality steel to get them razor sharp..

Wow! I'm surprised at the results. We are at 155 pollsters and 77% favor a 2 blade. The Delta (both 2 and 4 blade) is favored by nearly half of us (48%) over the Eskimo 31%(2 and 4 blade). Anybody else surprised? I also would have thought the 4-blades would have had a bigger following. Is it because the 2-blades are more trad, easier to sharpen, penetrate better or that the 4-blades don't do any "better" than the 2-blade models? Maybe another poll is needed... :rolleyes:

I have been using Zwickeys for almost 40 years...deltas, eskimos 2 & 4 blades...I bought my first 6pack in '75
overall I like the 2 and 4 blade eskimos with my faster shooting recurve...the 4 blade delta only with my longbow.. I am no expert, but the slower longbows and recurves I have hunted with seem to shoot deltas better...the faster bows like the two or 4 blade eskimos the best...
the deltas seemed to fly a bit wild once I hit the 185-190 fps range, but with my longbows they did awesome...2 or 4...

I've tried Delta's in the past but seemed to always get a flier once in a while. The No Mercy's don't give me any problems and group with my Eskimos and Howard Hill heads. So the NM gets my vote.

I voted strictly two blade as I find them much easier to sharpen. I really like the no mercy, but don't think there enough better then the eskimo to warrant the extra they usually cost. Hard to beat a 6 pack of Eskimo for $20.
