Very durable and easy to sharpen.
I wish I could say the same. I loved everything about these heads. The one piece design; they flew great; they were durable; BUT...... They were dull as a fence post straight out of the pack and resharpening them was a pain in the a$$. I think it is due to two things. One the angle of the edge of the blades is too steep and second they are made from an extremely hard tool steel that is hard to sharpen. I' ll take you at your word when you say they sharpened easy for you but I' m no novice when it comes to blade sharpening and I had a helluva time getting a suitable edge on them and never did get an edge that would shave hair easily. If this one area were to be improved on these heads I' d use them for sure. However, I will not pay over 30 dollars for 3 broadheads that I have to take out of the pack brand new and sharpen. Not when I can get Rocky Mt Titaniums for the same price that will cut you to the bone just screwing them on the arrow if you aren' t careful.
