Question for Grizzly broadhead users ...

[Mr.Magoo]

I can get the heads plenty sharp, but even though the blade is sharp, the tip remains relatively thick and blunt.

Do you Grizzly experts leave the tip as is, or file it down to make it more cut on contact?

Thx for the assist.

[Trad-Man]

I don't worry to much about it myself...touch it up if you like.  Just don't make it pointy...the idea behind the design is to have a point that won't roll over.

I file and try to leave it in the original shape, I also file on both sides of tip edges, front and back.

[Sharpster]

Here's how we do them: First file or sand off the excess braze that causes the bulge at the tip. Then I like to sharpen the tanto per Ed Ashby's recomendation by either double beveling the tip as Pavan described or...

My personal favorite technique is to single bevel from the opposite side as the primary bevel (also one of Ed's prefered methods):

I double bevel mine,like Pavan.The last ones I did on a 220 grit diamond hone,with the head mounted on a shaft.I polish my main blade edges but not as worried about that on the tip but the tip is sharp and I remove any burr.

I have done some like Ron's diagram and am just as confident with them.I wouldn't hunt with the factory tip unsharpened.

Single bevel

[Jack Skinner]

Like Sharpster's example above.

I double bevel the tip in the tanto shape. I want the front SHARP since that is what goes through first.

[Ragnarok Forge]

I keep the single bevel and sharpen the tip as a single bevel in the tanto tip shape.

I left them blunt for a long time and had no issues, still great penetration too.  On retropect I'm glad I didn't take a severely angled shot with those blunt tips I now think they'd possibly have been more prone to deflections.  A few years ago I started double beveling the tips of all my heads with large tanto tips.

I like Ron's illustration!  You're getting pretty fancy Ron!

[Missouri Bowman]

I touch up the tips.
