I prefer Grizzies. Sharpening a single bevel Magnus will be the same as sharpening a Zwickey No Mercy, due to the triple lamination of the tip area.

Dave, I'm guessing you are talking about that point where it steps down from the triple lamination? That part gave me trouble initially with my sharpening jig. Going to a freehand file and strop got me back to popping hair.

Pete, ,I thought I had a picture already uploaded somewhere of my S cut entrance wound on that hog but it's not out there. You are right, it is less pronounced, but the hole is 50% wider. Being a liver shot, I was very happy to have the extra cutting width to really do the damage needed for a quick recovery.

Here's my take on the original question:
- most proven, clearly the Grizzly.
- worried about penetration, Grizzly for sure.
- if you consistently blow through animals and want a wider cut, Magnus SB is my current choice.

I have no vested interest in either of them, just trying to help out.

Hey Thom - I have no doubts they kill animals well. Glad they have worked for you and congrats on the hog! I am just trying to point out that, according to Ashby, penetration in bone is the biggest wildcard in a killing shot or not on large game (elk and up for me). In that case, one would want a narrower head like the Grizz.

Of course in smaller game (deer and under), I'd just use a 3-blade broadhead
