Seeza

I love them.  Easy to sharpen, hold up well, just don't thin the tips too much while sharpening.  A fine needle point can bend over on you.  I have used them to take deer and black bear here in Ontario.

I have used them with great results on deer and antelope.

Been using them for 25+ yrs. Easy to sharpen, good arrow flight, great heads. JoeM's picture speeks for itself for penetration. I've tried other heads but I always come back to Eskimo's

Have used them for more years, then I can count. Have taken deer, elk and black bear with them.

When I was in my teens, I used them along with Bear Razorheads.

Zwickey Eskimos have been and still are a great broadhead.

The only deer shoulder I shot THROUGH was with an Eskimo, and it lived to hunt again.

Great heads, there's a reason Zwickies have not only survived, but thrived since the 30's.   :archer2:

one of my favorite broadheads, "sun never sets on a zwickey".  Just like Seeza SAID.

Shortlongbow

Been shooting Eskimos for 20 years. Deadly effective on whitetails. Simple sturdy head. Easy to sharpen.

Stick n' String

I just ordered my first set of wood arrows, six of which will be tipped with Eskimo heads. Any tips for sharpening them? I understand they will come dull with the milled edges that must be smoothed with a file before working them over with a stone, correct?

I pull mine thru a carbide sharpener, and they pass thru deer like a hot knife thru butter.

TC in Spfld

I use a 6" Grobet mill file to work over the factory grind and then finish up with a ceramic crock stick or an Accusharp.  Either one makes them hair popping sharp.

3 feathers,
My first experience with the Zwickey 2 blade was about 20 years ago. I shot a small buck that was feeding at about 10 yards through both lungs. The deer jumped, took a couple of steps and started searching for acorns again. He then raised his head, began to quiver and fell over, 15 yards from my stand. I have used 2 blade broadheads ever since.
