Interesting! Sounds like the standard old El Grandes to me. I doubt Grizzly would add 10 to the weight and make no other changes. For a year and more we’ve been hearing that Grizzly and STOS both were “about to come out” with redesigned heads in heavier glue-on weights. What ever happened to that? If the Doc wasn’t under the weather he would know. Maybe Sharpster has an update?

The 200 gr El Grandes have been redesigned somewhat in that the “overlap” of the two halves no longer exists. The bevel has been changed for the better but still requires some modification. The brazing on the tip is gone. All together it makes for a much cleaner BH than the old 190’s but still requires some work to get them right.

Brett — thanks for this info. If they were available in left bevel, I’d order a dozen right now to go with my new footed shafts. With all the instruction available now on sharpening these excellent very-hard heads, via Ashby and Sharpster, that part is no longer a problem. But bevel-direction is. Eliminating that overlap will really make sharpening easier.

Now, does anyone have an update on STOS?

Dave….I ordered my 200 gr El Grandes directly from Grizzly (Shawn Shoonover). Just give him a call and get your left bevels.
