Rage Sharpness
Since I know these blades get a lot of disscussion here I searched for this topic before posting this, but I can never seem to get my search narrowed down enough. So here I am:
I justgot a pack of 2bladeRage heads this weekend. I was so pumped that as soon as I gotin the truckI opened the package to check'em out. My excitement got the best of me, as when I opened one of the blades from the locked position, it slipped andmy thumb ran accross the blade. Iimmediately grabed my thumb and was ready to start cursing when I looked and realized it hadn't done anything! Not even a mark. I examined all of the blades and they don't look too sharp.
I calledRage and they said that they should be good to go out of the pack and require no sharpening. She said I could return them and trya new batch if I needed to.I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the Rage blades being dull? Also, if you've had to sharpen them, what's the best way todo this?

A dull rage will scare a deer so bad it will slit its own throat and leaving a blood trail a color blind, nearsighted deaf mute could follow in the dark.[8D]
And heck....that's (the above)coming from someone who's never tried the head!

Funny you brought this up, I killed two last year with Rages and didn't notice any problems but last night I was screwing some new ones on my hunting arrows and noticed they were sharp but not as much as my slick tricks according to my scientific rubber band test [:-]. I ran a sharpener across them a time or two and now they're ready to go. They were probably ok to begin with but I like 'em scary sharp

That's about accurate. Not sure why being deaf and mute would help or hinder bloodtrailing......but the rest I'll buy.

A friend of mine killed two last weekjust by driving past a field they were standing in, and he just had them lying on the truck seat.[:-]

Funny you should say that. My local shop charges $450 for them. $35 for the heads and $415 for the mount
