I wasn't aware that RAGE had a QC department!!! jk I think that they have made some necessary improvements over the past 2 years but I have been burned by them in the past and I have 0 faith in them now personally. I am assuming that you are using a 2 blade 2"...same head on elk??
I will be using the TT Edge this year on elk (probably, still need to test them once they come out!) I think the 1.5 is about right for a mechanical for elk. As far as using Rages on elk my buddies and I have had great results using mostly TI's and sharpening the blades out of the package. As far as the QC you are dead on, it sucks! I will be looking hard at the G5 Havoc for a deer head as I like a 2'' cut on deer. How did you get burned Evan?
