[QUOTE="BlackStreak, post: 687192, member: 33144"] That's a good question. I resharpening them with a diamond stone but have tried lots of different sharpening tools and can't ever get them sharp enough to shave like I would like. I've even used the G5 sharpening tool and had better results with a diamond stone. I continue to try new things if they seem like they have potential for being better suited for me. I bought a package of Muzzy 125 grain phantoms. They are a cut on contact blade have 4 cutting surfaces. I haven't tested them side by side in a penetration test with the montecs on a huge bosts shoulder, but that being said I've been getting good penetration with them. The four blades leave a nice blood trail BUT same with the Montecs, if you don't hit them good you don't get your pig. What my favorite part of the muzzy phantoms is, is that you can take the broad head apart and get the blades so sharp they shave.
