At one time they were illegal but are they now? I read the regs & didn't see anything about serrated blades, just a minimum of 2 sharpened blades. The reason I ask is because I shoot the Magnus Stingers & found a good deal on a handfull of Buzzcuts. Also is there any advantage to a serrated blade or is it just a personal preference?

I've never used them so I can't say they work or not. I read arteries bleed better and do not close up as easy when they have sharp cuts. When an artery has jagged tears or cuts, they close up faster?

A razor cuts deeper and faster, with less effort, than a steak knife.
I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.

Good point Outback. They actually say the wounds are less likely to close up with a cut from a serrated blade. I'd rather use a straight edge though. They're easier to sharpen.

I killed a couple of deer with the steel-force serrated blade heads. I didnt notice any difference than with a muzzy. The thing I didnt like about them is you almost always had to replace the bleeder blade due to bending. I wouldnt say they bled any better or worst than a regular fixed blade.

Not that it matters, but jagged cuts from a serrated blade cause veins and arteries to have spasms which increase enzymes to help seal the cut. A razor cut does not effect it in that way. So a straight razor cut is harder to stop the bleeding.
But from a BH standpoint, it shouldn't matter while blowing through a deer.
