That doesn’t happen with a blade that has been file sharpened. The flesh won’t mend and it just keeps bleeding. That’s what I want from my broadhead!
Originally posted by Charlie Lamb: This all boils down to personal preference. Both a filed edge and a smooth razor edge will kill quickly....if you shoot a big game animal in the chest cavity, does it really matter which causes faster clotting?
Originally posted by Uncle Buck: I'm not sure what you guys mean when you talk about a "durable" edge, doesnt it have to last just one shot? I have always hunted with freshly sharpened heads. Are you saying that just going through the hide will dull it? My experience is limited to deer and small game, although I plan on taking my first hog this year.

Or else it wouldn't cut. Weather they are large, medium or microscopic....metal, flint, obsidian, agate, all have razor sharp edges......ask my band aids.I have talked to Richie and he is a super guy. I'm going to disagree with him though.
