Those look like some heavy duty broad heads that would make one heck of a hole

In think they're too "blunt" I like the Ashby idea of a 1:3 slope.

I have read a lot of reviews that they are very accurate, but the vented ones are noisy. I'd get the solid ones for sure though.

I got a bunch of uber expensive heads and liked them a lot, losing these makes me want to cry.

When I see a company claim "proprietary hardening process" I become suspicious of all the claims they make. Where is the patent # , or other documents that give them legal proprietary status ?

If it is as hard as they claim how do you sharpen it ?

I am not a fan of the Tanto tip .

I agree Pete, cyrogenticly treating for hardness is not new, Knife smiths have been doing it for years .
I flat out do not like the design of the profile personally

They triple temper for hardness and cryogenically treat for toughness. That is a great combination of processes to create the durability they are looking for. I have a blade made of D2 tool steel that went through the same procedures. It holds an edge like no other knife I have ever had.

The caveat to any lifetime warranty... is the company going to be around to service warranties for a lifetime?

In order for them to be around, they have to sell product to stay afloat. I'd probably watch them for a few years to see if they make it before paying the extra for a "lifetime" product that has always been disposable.
