Jason, there were pics posted on another forum on HNI last year of tests through bone, scapula on a deer or hog, IIRC correctly. Still sharp w/ no blade damage. Like all the rest of us,I got an Excal on someones word, then found my arrows of choice on someones word, then the Slicks, again on someones word. Found all three to be all I need, but can well understand the experiment bug, lol, kept me down to pocket change most of my adult life, lol.

edited to add: Somewhere there were pics of a deers rib cage w/ slick threw a rib, looked like it went through it like a popsickle stick.
