I've ran the Aztecs but haven't been successful.  Very easy to sharpen with Rada wheels.

I have a 6-pack of 150gr KME sharpened Concordes, RH single bevel. Haven't gotten any blood on them yet. But was curious to see how durable they are, so I took one of heads and hammered it with a rubber mallet into a 2x4. The ferrule can be a source of skepticism for some people but it held up from the impact of the mallet just fine with no sign of deformation. Went up and down the length and split the 2x4; the head was no worse for wear at all.

Thinking of getting some Aztecs as well once Tim gets a new shipment in. Highly recommend checking out this one unscientific test conducted on an Aussie forum where the Aztec beat out more expensive competitors when shot through a heavy duty skillet. Bear in mind that the Aztec has thinner steel than the Concorde!! And now that they permanently dropped the price, the Tuskers are a truly unbeatable value (in my eyes) for the dollar you spend.

I've got some Concords, going to use them this fall for the first time.

They were a challenge for me to sharpen, but that's my fault.  I watched the video they did on sharpening them and then I was able to get them shaving sharp.

But now I'm trying to make stone points...  :banghead:

These heads have taken more game than anyone would care to count as they were one of the first BHs made here in Aussie and have had a number of developments over the years to keep up with the new trends in the BH world.

Here's one of my favorite Aztec pics.  This was an Aussie boar.

I like these heads and have shot the concorde repeatedly through beef cow shoulder blades, along with a lot of other heads, and the blade is still sharp. I can't say that for many of the other heads I have shot through the cow bones. The steel they use is outstanding quality and really holds an edge. The ferrule has dents in it from going through the bone so many times but the head still spins true. Top notch head and will be on the end of my arrows this year.

This doe fell to a Tusker Delta I bought from Tim at Braveheart last year.  I don't have any trouble getting them nasty sharp, I use a 12" Nicholson clamped down similar to the video and finish with a crock stick.

I like the Concord. They are tough to sharpen because you have to take a lot of material off, unless you get KME pre-sharpened. Once sharp they are easy to touch up and they do a great job.

The bull in my avatar was taken with a concord that I put a single LW bevel on. They are great heads.
