 Why are the SilverFlame broadheads available with "ToughTip" since 2009?

SilverFlame broadheads are designed to provide a true "cut-on-contact". This means that they cut immediately upon contact in order to minimize the loss of energy of the projectile during the important initial cut. During extremely hard hits or with a big shear force, it was possible for the first 1 or 2 mm of the outer tip to break off. However, the point of break always provided a sharp edge so that the broadhead was still able to produce a high and deadly penetration.

Despite this minimal damage, the SilverFlame broadhead remained fully functional.

If the steel was hardened less carefully, the tip would only bend ("Curl-up"). A bad penetration would be the result. Since 2009, all SilverFlame broadheads are available with a "ToughTip" that is ground with a smaller radius than the main edge. This gives much more strength to the very tip. The ToughTip can get resharpened within one stroke together with the main edge and cuts by the very first touch, thus provides a true “cut-on-contact”.
