Here is a modified 190 Grain Grizzly.  I based my modifications on Dr. Ed Ashby's post on how to modify them.  

It is 1" at the base and full width at the front.  I put a chisel tip on it.  The tip bevels are ground on the opposite side of the blade grinds.

I also decreased the edge angle and took it to a zero grind and then buffed the wire edge off.  It will now easily shave arm hair!!

Dr. Ashby please let me know what you think and if I did it correctly.  I look forward to your input!

Here is a picture of the modified broadhead and an unmodified broadhead.

Thanks for looking!  I look forward to your input on this.

Ian, thats me....  Thanks!  Glad you are enjoying the Dogfish!  They are a fun little necker.

If Dr. Ashby gives his blessings, I may try and modify these heads if there is demand for them.

I will have to see how much time it takes, but I don't think it will be too bad.

I have to say that I was VERY surprised when I got the Grizzly's.  The tips are BLUNT and the edges wouldn't cut hot butter!

Tom , I am demanding a Dozen of your modified grizzlies. Ok, perhaps Demand is too harsh a word, but I bet there would be a great demand for this modification. However, I would like to put my name in the hat for a Dozen or so of your Ashby/Krien modified Grizzlies, should you start this endevour. Your neighbor in Tejas, Suty

Tom,
I'd be interested as well. Some people just shouldn't mess with grinders...

Tom,
I've got one of your Mid-Tech Dogfish knives and put me in for some modified heads as well.  I like the knife above.  Guess I'll be ordering something else from you, as well as the heads.

Let me see on the next one I modify.  I can do it, but it might make the front to narrow...  maybe leave the very front double edged and turn into the chisel grind??

Tom,
GREAT job on the modified head. Also, great looking knives. Put my name in the hat if you need field testing done too! Just curious, what did the grizzly weigh after mod.?
Thanks
