I would definately agree with you on the sharpness of them out of the package. My friend had a bow shop and I returned 2 different packages to him because I could literally run my thumb across the blade and not worry about drawing blood. With that being said, I bought some this year and I wouldn't recommend trying the same thing as the results won't be the same. The reason I stuck with them is they fly like darts and mobowhuntr pointed out.

I would question the Slick Tricks just based on their inventory issues I read about on the forums and posted on their websites.

I would go back to the trusty "ol" Muzzy's if I wasn't shooting Montecs.
