Title: Replacing the old Bear razorheads
Post by: sgrogg on December 01, 2007, 06:18:00 PM
Been shooting 70's era screw-in stainless Razorheads for years.  Love'em.  Love the way they fly, kill and most of all the way they sharpen with a file.  I believe they are softer than most of the heads available today which may be why they are so easy to sharpen with a file.

I've used up (bent, broke or lost) my supply so now I need something new.  The most important criteria is the ability to file sharpen and, gotta be a 2 blade.  Any recommendations?

What about the new bear razorheads. I have the 145 grain model, and  they fly great. I also had 125 Magnus Stingers, and  they flew great too. Bears were easier to sharpen though.

Magnus 140 grain 2 blade screw ins.  Strong, high quality and priced right.   :thumbsup:

Zwickey, and Magnus heads have steel that agrees with file sharpening. They are not stainless.
Ribteks also are easy to get sharp with a file, but I don`t think they can be bought ready to screw in, you have to get the adapters to glue in them. (which is no big deal)

These three are ones I have used myself. I would use any of them again, but prefer Zwickeys.

As Shawn said, you may be able to find some more of the Bear heads to get by a while longer.

I think the bear super razorheads that you are refering to are still available. If not, you could easily get some used ones from someone here at TG. Just post a topic asking for them.

Satalite is now making/marketing a "Razorhead" that is similar to the old bears. I have some and they sharpen easy but I haven't shot them yet. I expect that they will fly great, like most two blade heads do.

There's at least 3 dozen of the old green Razorheads for sale on "the big auction site" right now.  Just pick up some short adapters and you'll be in business.  I always liked the old carbon steel Razorheads better than the SS version.
