The Montecs are MIM, which basically means they are a reconstituted powder that gets put into a mold. You will never get an edge on a broadhead produced by this method.
You could talk to a metallurgist that would tell you the same thing. It's impossible to maintain the high degree edges of tool steel with simple mold injection. The nock against the Montecs has always been how dull they are. I think Ahnillator is doing a decent job with their edges and they are using a mold. However they are using 4140 tool steel and utilizing a cryogenic process which really uniforms the material. The consistenty of the molecular chains is what allows a razor edge. MIM injection has a chaotic molecular dispersion. It is literally impossible to line up the chains parallel to each other in order to create that razor thin line that creates the edge.Careful with statements like that, it’s true that they’re MIM but you’re making a mighty broad and bold statement on a process rather than talking about the 30 deg edge and it’s perceived sharpness. Lots of materials and hardness levels and products being made by MIM these days

His original problem was with a G5 head. If he wants to shoot something without replaceable blades there are far better options than the Montec. VPA, Tooth of the Arrow, and Kudu are all superior options with similar price points.I’ll let you tell David Boye that. Regardless the thread isn’t about MIM, OP like I mentioned before you should shoot G5 an email
