Super!  I like the right wing twist as well, due to my stock pile of rw fletch.  :-)  Keep us posted on the finished product.
Best regards in traditional,

Those are insane!  Very cool that you can program something like that and get them cut out.  Wow!

I already have a program written for the 3 blade heads.  I will put them on the post if I have a chance to cut one out on Monday.  They are actually easier to cut than the 2 blades.  I'm aftaid that they will be way too heavy though.  I will get one weighed as soon as it is cut.  JD

Man That is an awesome skill to have.  Those things look tough.  I don't have much knowlege on the single bevel thing and was wondering about the left handed comment?

I am as impressed as everyone else and in no way being a critic. Yet I wonder if those cool-looking "winged" ferrules aren't so large and so angular that they will work against the twist established by the massive single bevel? Would it be possible to program for rounded ferrules rather than wings? Something like the AK "Ashby" head shown here? It's not so striking in appearance, but rounded is likely more functional than winged. Anxious to see test results! dave

Awesome heads.   Maybe you should consider onesies instead of threesies to spread the chance of getting one of those things you are offering.  I for one would sure like to obtain one for my wall.

Or, leave the ferules the way they are and put a double bevel on the main blades.(I know it goes against the whole single bevel idea, awesome looking head Bro)

Machined from a solid block, huh?  At a cost of $478.34 each, they'll be a steal!  LOL.  Probably get them for the bargain price of $1,250 for a three pack!

I think a rounded ferrel would be both more appealing and more functional..  Otherwise they are outstanding.. Of course the points need to be tanto'ed
