I still am experiementing with the montecs. But with a 30 degree angle and that thick of a blade, you can't get them that sharp. I can sharpen anything. And I get these pretty sharp. But you will never get them surgical sharp as a thunder head or muzzy. And with a blade that thick, I don't think you will outpenetrate a slick trick.

But they are tough, and if one took care of em, you could shoot probably 15 deer with the same head.
