Although they're not my favorites, I have to say that I thought that the Steel Force BH's were very sharp straight out of the package.  Muzzy's too.

That being said, I still prefer Magnus and Woodsman BH's... don't be intimidated by sharpening them.

Thanks! are you using the KME sharpener ? I used a zwickey eskimo on a doe this weekend and was not that impressed with it and it find it hard to get an edge on it... How hard is it to get an edge one the Magnus's and Woodsman's?

Awboyers, by far the sharpest broadhead I've ever received straight out of the box.  IMHO. I have three stitches to prove it.  LOL

Not sure which is the sharpest, but Stingers are sharp enough, and with replaceable blades.

Having said that, I don't shoot them.

Although it debatable if they are traditional I've found Thunderheads to be extremely sharp. Even sharper then the Abowyer Javelinas I'm now using. I'm sure NAP's two blade offerings will be just as sharp. There are adapters available to bring the weight up to 175. The only problem I have with the Abowyers is they rust easily unless you protect them.

Stingers, and Simmons have always been sharp as all get out!!  And just so you know, in case you don't, the WORST in my opinion, Magnus Snuffers!!

Abowyers without a doubt.

I've had good penetration with/ without bleeders on Stingers; but in my experience, the bleeders do make a better bloodtrail------but even that is hard to acccruately compare unless 2 shots are made at exact same spot and angle......

Bone splitting tips as well!
