I don't doubt the superior edge holding of the regular grizzly stick broad head over the overkill series, I not sure it merits consideration for hunting purposes. I say that based on a recent Ranch Fairy video where he discussed and showed the difference between 2 different tuffheads he had shot through pigs and 2 that hadn't been shot and were hunting sharp. I know he takes his sharpening seriously and there was a striking difference. To me that illustrates the point that resharpening/touching up will be a necessary step before every hunt.
I also am under the impression that the softer steel of the overkills will take an edge easier but that may just be my own misguided notion.

Also I have the 125gr maasai overkills that I'll be shooting this year. If you go with theaasai's I recommend the staysharp "C" series sharpener for keeping them sharp also. It made taking mine from sharp to scary sharp a pain free and easy process.

I'll be interested to hear how the 125gr Maasai Overkills work for you. I changed to the same broadhead this year. I had a bad experience with the mechanicals last year and expect to stay with fixed blade from now on. I also always preferred a heavier setup for my arrows. Even before watching a lot of the Ranch Fairy videos. I think kinetic energy is better than speed.

I can tell you that if you shoot them into a gravel creek bed they get real chewed up. So far I've got the dings out of the blade and it is still flying true, haven't put an edge back on it yet, just using it as a practice head for now.
