I have seen alot of new products out this year but these heads caught my attention.

wow - that is truly unique..

i don't know what to think about that..

but at $22.50 a head, i'd think long on it.. :lol:

[wyle_e_coyote]

only $45 for two...what a bargin...:yikes:
Hey, I have an idea!! Someone else buy them and let me know how they work..:lol:

[triplehooked]

:yeahthat: Looks pretty cool, but I think I'd wait for the price to come down a bit.

They can't cost that much to make!

Very interesting idea......very expensive interesting idea......very very expensive idea. I'm with the rest of you, I've had good results with my spitfire mechanicals and am not about to blow $45 on 2 heads. I'll wait for some here to do a trial and read all about it.

Ha Ha Oh Yeah...poke fun at the guy with the "problem" :lol: ;)

I saw them in Jan at the ATA show and thought them interesting. Same company that makes the Gobbler Guilottine if that tells ya anything.

I'd be tempted to try them but not at that price.

I would like to know how much force is needed for those blades to flatten out. If it requires a lot of force, aka passing through something hard like bone for them to finally go in, they wouldn't exactly flatten that easily IMO and still create quite a bit of resistance while going through bone, slowing them down and obviously cutting nothing (since it's bone and all). Then on the oppisite side of things, if they go in easily, so they are like a true field point traveling through the bone with the least resistance possible, then how much force are they going to pop back out with - enough to cut a nice hole using more than mainly just the tip ?

I guess that would be the million dollar question Rod. It sounds like it might work on paper but the blade resistance/retention will make a huge difference.

That would be my first question.
Second is how does it deal with thick hair/fur?
How long will it stay sharp? It's obviously not resharpenable and the replacements are still $17


Plus whatever other variables that my feeble mind can't look into the future to troubleshoot.
