[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 221438, member: 704"] 50 Rockwell is not good. This is about the first time I have considered Rockwell hardness for broadheads. I had always assumed they were comparable to knives. I don't carry a knife under 62 Rockwell and I carry a couple at 67 Rockwell. I do know that I can resharpen old Thunderhead blades that shave without pulling the hair on my arm. I was sure the G5 was lower Rockwell because I have never got one to shave. I wonder if any of the fixed blade have a 57 or 58 Rockwell? 50 Rockwell will bend before it breaks, but it's not going to hold an edge. Gun barrels run about 42 Rockwell, but they need to be tough not sharp. Laminated blades run soft and hard steel. I'm going to try drill one of my old G5 heads. If I can drill through it I will never shoot them. Easy drilling with my cordless, but I did slip and brake a bit. You should never be able to drill decent steel except for axe heads.[ATTACH=CONFIG]25511._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]25512._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
