I too am wondering how all of these people are getting "dull" blades. Are they actually dull like a butter knife or just not as sharp as other mass produced heads like NAP or Magnus?

I recently received 17 packs at our store and while I didn't check everyone of the packs the ones I did check were plenty sharp enough and would shave hair.

Someone commented on how it is possible to ecconmically sharpen heads since NAP does it so well. Well NAP has tons of money at their disposal, when compared to Garry at Slick Trick, for the very latest and best equipment made to sharpen their blades. Garry, on the otherhand does not. He is a start up company (less than 5 years old) that is making a superior broadhead and is able to get the blades plenty sharp enough for hunting. No they aren't NAP sharp but they are sharp and sharper than most Muzzies I have tried.

I am quite sure that as time goes on and the slick tricks become more and more popular and he is able to invest more money into better equipment the blades will continue to evolve into ever sharper cutting edges. They have, in fact, been getting sharper since the first ones I tried.

I also wouldn't consider $22 a premium price to pay for three heads that are as well made as a slick trick. A little above average but not premium. A premium price, IMO, would be something along the lines of NAP crossfires or razorbacks, Montecs, Crimson tallons, etc... where the cost is $10 or more per head.
