Bear Razorheads question

[tradrookie93]

I'm thinking about buying some of the older, carbon steel Razorheads. Is there anything I should look out for when buying them?

[Fletcher]

There were quite a few "seconds" sold.  Points don't line up with the ferrule and the bleeder slots were cut wrong.  There were also at least four different models made.  Most that you will find are 1964 and later.  They're a proven head, have fun with them.

[Bamboozle]

Look out for great blood trails, razor sharp with a file and a feeling of nostalgia.

My all time favorite.  Sharpen easy with a file too. It's a great time a year to buy them to. They always seem to go up in price come fall. Millions of them out there. Only broadhead that has been to the moon.

[tradrookie93]

Can someone tell me what year/weight these may be?

 

[crazynate]

Those are post 1964s. Bout 125grains

[tradrookie93]

Is that with the bleeders in?

[crazynate]

Here's a few different years and packaging.  

[tradrookie93]

That's awesome!  

[crazynate]

I should've said 125 ish with the adapter if you use them as screw ins. By themselves new like that about 110-113 without bleeder blade. Then about 5 grains for the bleeder. Just went and weighed 1 that from a package and it weighed 118 with the bleeder. Hope this helps

[tradrookie93]

That's what I needed to know, thank you.

[yeager]

That's the only broadhead I use...... probably have at least 4 dozen. With the broadhead adapters and bleeder blades, they weigh right around 150 grains.

That's all I'm using too. I have greenies and black ones. All are 110-115gr without bleeders. To make them all the same weight or increase to 125gr to match field points just pack the proper amount of aluminum foil up into the ferrule where the bleeder goes. Can't use the bleeder but I'm using as a two blade anyway and it is not permanent if you decide to use bleeders.

My favorites are the charcoal colored ones that they started making about 1978 I believe.  Careful heat gets the adapter out as most of them were sold as screw in heads.

Charlie, you shoulda had Snuffers out there would have been gone in no time.     :D

[Pointer]

They are mostly what I use and they are a great head. I would say that you want to look out for any that were sharpened by folks who don't really know how to sharpen.

I did unload some Pearson Deadheads.

Are the black razor heads the super razor heads?

[nek4me]

What I call black are the same ones Braveheart referred to as charcoal. They are the same design as the greens but came on adapters which I had also removed.

[tradrookie93]

So what's the difference between the Razorheads and Super Razorheads, and what steel are the Super Razorheads made of? I keep searching and can't find definite answers.

[nek4me]

The Super Razorheads have SS blades with a threaded aluminum ferrule so no adapter was required as with the original Razorheads to use as a screw in point. The blue ferrule were 145gr and then they came out a 125gr with a green aluminum ferrule.
