Swhacker Sharpness

[nchunterkw]

Hey VM I've been reading a lot of good reviews on the g5 broadheads have u checked them out ?

They be good, i jus went to ebay & they think they have gold in'em

I found Slick Trick Crossbow Tricks in 150gr on Amazon for $25 for 3. Not bad

I went and checked my three Mike after reading your post. The one I killed with last year and re-sharpened will shave. One of the others will also. The 3rd will not shave so I will touch it up.
I find that after sitting around for a year most broadheads need a touch up.

Rob you are correct.
All broadheads should be checked periodically.
All my hunting arrows in the quiver get a close inspection from time to time, especially my number 1 arrow which gets pulled out of the quiver first.

Funny the pkg of Swhackers I picked up the other day said assembled in the USA-Blades made in Lutz, Germany. Has Swhackers changed where they get their blades from or made?

mine, just purchased, SKU 895090002108, say "CHINA by Yamatoh." (Yamatoh, interestingly, is a Japanese name).

Both of my new paks says China & says blades honed razor sharp Can't cut its way out of a paper bag! Dull dull dull, nevermore will they get another cent of my money

Man I'm sorry to hear ya had bad but good luck with them heads. Darn I just ordered a 2-nd pkg of them from BH Headquarters. I hope they are as sharp as my German Lutz made Blades. I'll keep all posted!

After reading this thread I checked the sharpness of my brand new Swackers out of the package. It was disturbing to say the least, just a little sharper than a butter knife. Needless to say I will not be caring these to the field. On a side note my new Wasp Jac-Hammer SST out of the package will send you to the ER for some stitches if you don't pay attention. Jac-Hammers getting the nod October 15th

Now I am wondering if I should open mine to check the sharpness...or just try to send em back unopened...

[robertyb]

It takes about 15 seconds to touch them up.
If you can sharpen a knife or anything else. Some folks just can't do it.

[Chris Dillard]

I purchase broadheads with the expectation that a razor blade will be razor sharp anything else is unsatisfactory and down right unethical to launch at a game animal in my mind. There are to many fixed blade and mechanical heads out there that are truely razor sharp, as opposed to buying a head that you have to sharpen up.

[massbow]

G5s may be pricey but their VERY sharp! sharp when you buy um and sharp after shootin for a while. The one head that I have been shootin in to my rhinehart night and day is still sharp enogh to shave!

[Peacemaker]

OK I opened mine and checked em out. Seem pretty sharp to me. Not "scalpel" sharp, but sharp enough to shave.

I was surprised at how loose the blades fit. I used a lighter to shrink the heat shrink rings so as to minimize rattle.....but they seem like they will do the job.

Mike, you keep checkin' broadheads off your list and you'll be usin' flint before long! Arent you a long time Spitfire fan?
