I forgot to check 'em after the final hone, but after the final grind (about as fine as a file sharpened head) they were at 172, 174 (4) and 176gr.  I worked the tanto tip of the 176gr head a little more than the others, so I think it's safe to say they're all in a 3gr spread.

The final grind was at about 22-23 degrees, then they were put in my KME broadhead jig (thanks Ron!) for a slightly higher polished edge - out to a hard arkansas stone.  .062" 1075 steel.  I never degreased 'em through the multiple annealing cycles... I love the patina on those heads!
