Thanks Larry.  I did go out and buy a file and cut it down to fit into my KME knife sharpener to get the grind down.

Pics page 5 and web links!   :thumbsup:      ;)  Grizzly comes in 160 grain, Kodiak comes in 170.

I was about to order some El Grande heads just before the change, now I'm wondering if the hardness is the same after the retooling. Anyone know the rockwell on the Kodiaks?

You are welcome. I think all the specifications anyone would want to know are there. If not let me know what it is.

I took some time with one last night. Started it on the big file with the KME just to true everything up and then progressively got finer with light pressure. I have never been able to get any other head that sharp.

Nice job on the web site TJ - I am really enjoying the resurgence of the brand.  Can't wait to see this batch of Kodiaks.

Those pics make it that much harder to wait. Looking forward to mounting up those Kodiaks and seeing how they compare to the Grizzlys!

Bill is it possible to get the Grizzly 160 or Kodiak 200 without the tanto tip?

I shot my new Zipper Grizzly heads today and thought" Why WOULDN'T any one want the tanto tip? Seems like a great way to prevent the tip from curling and increase bone contact damage. Waiting on the Kodiaks to see how the two compare. Very happy with the new grind and the heads mounted true and spin true on the adapters.

Not that I don't like the tanto tip, I would just like it a bit smaller & maybe a slightly different angle so it is less pronounced similar to the images used on the website. You can take metal away but you can't put it back.

:thumbsup:  Good point. I can't even spell tanto point without looking it up. Altering metal makes me a bit queasy actually. Wish I had some talent to do those things. That's why I really like these heads. Easy to sharpen, easy to mount, and they fly great. I don't need to be a welder, grinder, or rocket scientist to make them work.  :D

Owlbait from the images I've seen so far  I'm sure everything you've said about them is spot on . The quality & finish looks superb. I will be ordering some grizzly160 & Kodiak 200 to play with soon.

Lyonel It is to late now. The tanto is applied early in the game.

I am also anxious to get these heads out to you folks. I don’t think anyone is looking forward to it as much as Ron.  He has been busting his rear getting his equipment perfected to make these heads even better than the last batch.  :notworthy:  

By the way. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SO PATIENT!!!!!!!!!  :clapper:  I can not tell you how much I appreciate it.
