It shows the specs of the razer head as wider than the dead head, and does it have no slot for the bleeder ?

I remember seeing these several years ago. For anyone that sharpens 2 blade heads with a file, his Arrow Grabber is really handy and helpful and well worth having. I have three of them.

1095 This is a plain carbon steel, which means it has low resistance to corrosion, and low to medium edge retention. The benefit of this steel is it's easy to sharpen, will take an extremely sharp edge and is generally available at a low cost. 56-58

Anyone have any actual hunting experience with these heads?
Also, I'd like to know a little more about the 1095 steel...are there any of the "major market" heads made from this? Any head that I might be familiar with and could compare to???
Thanks.

I'll have to disagree with your opinion that 1095 is a low quality tool steel. (If that is your opinion) Do a search on the knife crafter's forum to find out more about it. Here is a couple knives made by our own Karl Andersen. Both have 1095 as one of the tool steels in the blade.

I did not intend to make anyone think that the steel was low quality. I simply copied and pasted the statement from a knife blog. I don't think the intent of the statement was to down grade the steel quality at all.

Sorry, I just thought "low to medium edge retention" was not a fair representative of the steel. I have made several knives out of it and I will say that it is quality steel. There are more high dollar tool steel out there that may have better edge retention then 1095 but the expense would not be worth it for a broad head company to use.
People focus too much on what type of steel is in a knife or broad head. It is the quality of the heat treat that makes the difference. Chad

So are there any heads currently on the market made from this steel?
Thanks.

Those are made by Robin Buck … I bought several of his heads that looked like Zwickey Deltas many years back, they are the brown ones in the top pic. I could sharpen those heads better than anything I have ever taken a file to … Robin recently retired from the Boeing Co. so perhaps he is back in production. I better give him a call …. really great broad heads and Robin is a heck of a bowhunter too !
Also that arrow grabber is a great sharpening guide, very easy to use.

I have not had the time to mount or sharpen one of the heads yet. I'm happy to learn that the steel is better than good quality.
A good file is what I use for most of my sharpening, so I should be happy with this steel.
I am also interested in the steel used for other traditional broadheads. I believe the easiest broadhead I've ever sharpened with a file is the Ribtek 190s. The Wensel Woodsman is also easy for me and I like the Ace heads too. The old Bear Razor heads worked well with a good file too. I'm getting so old there are too many to remember!

With a file, a diamond hone and an old leather belt, I have no trouble getting them shaving sharp.

I shot Pearson dead heads for Years , some whistled some didnt . BIgger ones ( 160s ) didnt as I recall . Taking a file to the innner edges of the whistling ones always cured it .
Nice to see them back in any form . If the steel is good and they hold up i'll be buying some .
