I am saying that I also think bevel angles under 30 degrees do not make an edge sturdy enough to hold up without problems with bone hits.
The bevel angles you are not happy with, are mostly around the 15 degrees, and I agree that this is too fine an edge to be strong enough .
All I am suggesting, should Magnus ever consider doing one, is to not follow the crowd, and grind your own higher bevel angle that is much stronger.
The s shaped entry wounds are an interesting feature, what ever the reasons for them, you have to admit they are cutting a wider total slit in the hide than just a strait slit entry.
Surely that must have some advantage for laying down a better blood trail.
When Ed Ashby was doing research on single bevels, I was happy to supply some broadhead samples for him to play with.
Identical models, except for right wing, left wing and double bevels, the measured differences in penetration he published in his research were certainly thought provoking.
Can you refer me to a link to your videos of single bevel at work, because I would very much like to see different takes and opinions on the topic, and it is possible I may learn something.

I haven't got them on my site yet or the site up. Its close but with work and two little ones (my boy being born this March) I'm running about two months behind on it. I'm about to start depredation killing of whitetails but will get it up and get the info on there as fast as I can. Writing seems to take me a while.
