Serrated broad heads

[Dan bree]

Any body make a. Glue on hill style serrated head like the maxi head  ?

I think Steel Force used to. Not sure if they do any more, but they make one of the best traditional Broadheads on the market, although you don't hear as much about it as others.

Yeah they did...not on their website now though.

I know a few years ago the folks there would work with you to sorta mix and match components to get you the head ya liked.
..might want to give em a call.

...also a small "chainsaw" file can get you nice results if your pretty set on serrations.

Back in the 50s Hill made them. You could only sharpen them on one side just like Bill Bagwells heads to get the serration. If you sharpened them on both sides the center of the cut would smooth, but with bumpy sides.

Saw a serrated hill on ****.  50 bucks for one. Ouch.

I would like to say that with standard Hills or my single bevel Hill that I have seen a huge advantage with razor sharp versus file sharpened Hill style with my Grizzly files, but I have not. The old Grizzly file has rounded smooth narrow sides, which can be used like a steel. The filing curf ends with a very abrupt sharp edge, which can create a very keen and fine serration. With softer heads, I have noticed that at times the razor sharp edge can be very dull after going through a deer. While the filed edges seem to have more left after going through a deer. I have noticed this as well with using the flat narrow side of a standard file and pulling the edge up on Zwickeys. A Zwickey with this typed of edge has proved to be 100% effective for us on deer.

you can make any two blade head serrated with a metal checkering file rather easily.  This is a Gene Wensel tip prior to the WW head and I used home brew serrated Journeyman heads for a bit.  Just do the back 1/2" or so or the width of your checkering file.  The files can be had through Brownells.

One of the Wensels wrote a TBM article on modifying broadheads with serrations a few years back.  2004ish if I recall.

If you have a Dremel get some chain saw sharpening stones for it. Use them at least to start the serration on the head. I have killed a lot of game , Elk , deer and bear , with the Eskimos sharpened with just three or four serrations on the back part of the blade. My thought is that these sever every blood vessel that they touch . Anyway they are proven killers. I simply use a small chain saw file to touch them up. Sharpen the head as usual.

God bless, Steve

Thanks for the tip steve. Going to try them on my grizzelys. Vi archer thanks also.  Dan

Yup, Steel Force makes a larger 2 blade serrated head. My best friend has used them for years. In fact they have a lifetime resharpening guarantee and he sent some back for resharpening and they replaced them with new ones.  

 Extremely sharp heads.      

Also, there was a head made in the mid 90's called the 'Raptor'.  Ron LaClair used to sell them. They looked like a red Zwickey, with a Journeyman shape (convex).  

Do it yourself as mentioned above or go the Steelforce route if you want it done for you.
