Last week I finally received my six 150 grain Ozcut Hurricanes in the mail. The cutting diameter is a 1 1/16th single bevel three blade and from Ozcut claims this will open up the wound channel more. All the podcasts I have listened to they never mentioned about the added bone busting ability of the single bevel baldes but did mention these penetrate just as well as their regular double bevel three blade. A spiral wound channel with the same penetration traits a the 3 blade single bevel should make for a great broad head. My thoughts are this would make a wonderful broadhead for hunting local whitetails where I live.

Initials Impressions:
- Solid one piece broadhead
- Good quality control on the machining of the broadhead
- Spins true
- Sharpness of the broadhead was very subpar especially since they stated on Instagram that these would be “razor sharp” out of the package. I was able to run my thumb over the bevel edge with decent pressure and not get cut. When I have had other single bevels that were razor sharp like RMS cutthroats, VanDiemans, and Grizzlystiks, you cannot do that without getting cut. I could be understanding the concept of the 3 blade single bevel but I would assume they would be able to cut skin or paper with ease if they are advertised as being “razor sharp.”
- In regards to sharpening them, from what I have tried. You can’t run them across a flat stone like a VPA or a Montec and think they will become sharp. They just don’t actually sharpen the bevel edge. I did send Ozcut and message on Instagram and they stated which is another reason why I sated I could be understanding the broadhead wrong but I did feel them on the actual cutting edge and they were still dull.
- “A small diamond file and simply push it along with sharpened bevel is the easiest way. Keep in mind that the edge is on an angle and cuts in almost a circular motion in comparison to straight. So don’t be feeling the edge on 90 degrees like a standard head”
- The only concerns I would have is because it is a three blade single bevel the blade are going to be thinner than a 2 blade single bevel. If the blades hit hard bone will they be able to retain their edge or will they have bad edge chatter because of the fact it’s a thinner blade with an unsupported edge.
