I hate downing these things because you guys talk so highly of them but the A-4 full size flew great and was "mildly " sharp at best.
Now my A-4 mini's came today and l can find a dollar store pairing knife sharper than these things ...cant even cut a rubber band honestly.... not impressed at all
If these are sharp a shwacker is a surgeon's scalpel!
I would rather have a sharp 2 bladed head than 4 dull ones

That's an oddity for sure! Contact the guys at Swat and you will be well taken care of.

Joe, I'm in with three packs of the Mini's, all sharp as hell! Contact them, Scott has gotten back to me every I emailed him. ZERO issues.

So thought I'd check my hybrids. Shoulda sliced open my fingers. Natha not even a scratch.

Tried a video on a rubber band. Barely cut it, after several tries.

Hmm, something's up. Every swat I have ever seen has been dangerous to handle.

OK, contacted Scott at Swat Broaheads.

He asked that I mail them back to him, so he could inspect them. Ok. Not a problem.

I also sent 2 quick videos of trying to cut a rubberband and(KINDA STUPID) my thumb ,while running the blades repeatability down and accross them.

I actually ruined my practice hybrid by trying to ReSharper it.

I mailed the package this am. Since then I was contacted by Scott and he's sending out replacements.
He explained about blade hardness and how the blades are hand sharpened on a leather strop machine.
He also contacted the guys doing the sharpening!

Great to dea l with Scott direct as a company is only as good as the product they deliver. He appreciated my contacting him. I didn't really h ave to mail them back as h e could see in the videos, what I was dealing with. Now he can recheck them anyway.

Good job Swat Broadheads , if you have any questions or problems just give them a call.

I have the Magnums, Hybrids and Vectors. What I like about is that they spin true almost every single time so their flight is extremely good. I just wish they’d make a hybrid with a much larger cut. The ferrule is the smallest I’ve ever seen and probably the toughest broadhead on the market.

Sorry, that is just Scotts nature, he is not much on words, don't take that the wrong way.
