Iron Will S-Series vs Day Six Evo
At the top of the fixed-blade market, two heads keep getting cross-shopped: the Iron Will S-Series and the Day Six Evo. Both are premium, both are tough as nails — the debate usually comes down to single-bevel A2 versus double-bevel MagnaCut.

The verdict

FAQ
Is Day Six or Iron Will better for elk?
Both are top-tier elk heads. Iron Will's single-bevel rotation is a penetration advantage; Day Six's MagnaCut holds an edge superbly and tunes easily. It's a preference call.
Does Day Six make a single-bevel broadhead?
No — Day Six uses hardened double-bevel blades by design. If you specifically want single bevel, the Iron Will (or Cutthroat) is your head.
