Here's the 190gr 2 blade Phat Head

Any know if these are razor sharp out of the package?

I had heard those single edge Steel Force heads were in the works and due to come out, hadn't seen em' yet. dino

I really like the looks of the Phat head design. I considered using them out of my compound when I still shot it but haven't shot it since 2006.  My longbow and recurve's are too much fun to go back.

I like the looks of the 145 grain Phat Head...

 

here is the single bevel...

 

Would the Phat head design not work with traditional speeds or KE?

I was thinking that 190gr African 2 blade would be great on deer, if one likes a heavy head.

I'll dig this one up.

They list the African and 145 as having the same main blade part #.  The website also made it sound like you could buy replacement ferrules. All the bleeders are the same part #


Anyone, by some miracle had the same thought as me and tried buying the 145gr ferrule and bleeder blades and then putting the 145/African main blade in?  If so, what was the finished weight?  I see the African uses a brass washer so I'm thinking it actually weighs 180-ish....so I'm hoping for a finished weight of about 200 for 145 main blade, bleeder and 145 ferrule without the brass washer.
