is this bad steel?

[Fastltz]

I want to add even after mine rehoned well I dont use them today. There is no way a blade should roll like that that easy especially through flesh as mine did. Its a shame too because they are the right shape and size.

I have shot a single bevel tusker in the dirt, cleaned it off, then shot it a few dozen times into my rhinoblock, still sharp.  50-52 rockwell

I would contact Steelforce as I am sure they would be interested in the problem.

I sent steel force an email with pics over a week ago, nothing but crickets.  They advertize a life time warranty.  ????

I  have seen this happen to 3 or 4  different makes of broadheads. All of them were stainless steel. I had some replaceable blade Cabelas points that actually looked as if they were almost serrated after passing through an animal, much worse looking than your points. IMO it has to do with stainless that is too soft and has been ground to a very fine edge.

Tuskers are tough.

I see some of the broadheads being mentioned as tough, and that is a good thing usually.  I have also personally seen some of those "tough" heads do very poorly on hard impact, in other words break on contact.  Never saw that happen with the tuffheads, though.

I know there are many single bevel fans but they are a less supported edge than the double bevel- by design.

The single bevel needs to be quality tempered steel for the design not to fail.
