Yes I have one.
The blades are RAZOR sharp. Although the sheath hides much of the blade, it's no barrier on contact, when the blades slice right through and continue into the target. In fact, you should be cautious when pressing down on those sheaths with your finger, as that blade will cut through them easily.
As far as becoming dull with use, the individual blades are not intended for multiple use, as with most bladed broadheads.

Did you see that video????? IT TOOK THE TURKEY'S HEAD RIGHT OFF!!!
But it looks like those broadheads only last for one bird, the blades seemed to break apart when they hit the neck of the turkey.

What you are seeing are the aerodynamic plastic sheaths coming off, not the blades. The current design is VERY strong. The sheaths are replaceable, as are the blades, and can be ordered seperately (sheaths/blades in one package).
Check out the link I posted above. See those green sheaths? That's what flies off when you hit the bird, because the blade slices through the sheath. That's how it's designed.

Glad to hear ya'll talking about the Gobbler Guillotine. As I'm the inventor...any question ya have. I'll be more than glad to answer them. Seems "Big Slick" must know me as he is correct in his statements about the Gobbler Guillotine. I do prefer to swap huntin stories though 
Call them in close, shoot straight and fire up the grill!

RE: Gobbler Guillotine
Very interesting inovation in broadhead technology.
However, it limits the hunter to head shots only. As any hunter knows or should know, no game animal "provides" you with a good shot and often you have to take the next best shot angle that presents itself.
I'll stick with my cut-on-contact broadheads and shoot 'em in the vitals.
Good hunting, Bowhunter57

RE: Gobbler Guillotine
You have to use 5.5" feather fletching to get them to come anywhere near to flying straight. Also notice the speeds in the vid are very close range w/ pretty slow bows.. by todays standards. What happens at 20-30yrds w/ a bow w/ any kind of speed.
Ind the video the blades do break off after hitting the bird.
I don't know about you.. but where I hunt.. it's not out in an open field. The slightest twig or blade of grass would send this head careening far off course.
Also was told at the ATA show at their booth that "these don't work if shot at the body"..
