What Kind of File for Broadheads?

[SuperK]

Like Kenny and some others have stated, I start with a "double cut" 8 inch file to set the angle and smooth out the factory grind. I then finish with a 6 inch "single cut" Nickolson (sp?).  Do like Terry Green said and use lighter and lighter pressure to "flip the burr".  You will finally not feel the burr.  I sometimes "steel" the edge with the shank of a screwdriver.  The finished edge will cut arm hair but you don't want to try to shave with it!  It will dig in before you know it!  Don't ask me how I know!      

I use a file card on mine, seems to make a difference.

I like these with the rounded safety edges, these have the file teeth jutting out just a little bit on the round edge.    
The original company Windsor does not seem to be in business any longer.

Stick with USA or European made files.  Nickolson hardware store files aren't USA made anymore and their quality and durability aren't what they used to be.  The Grobet files sold by our Trad suppliers are quite good.  Another good choice is the flat chainsaw files from Sthil and Oregon.  Single cut "mill" file is best for sharpening.  A 10 inch bastard will move metal quickly, a 6 or 8 inch second or smooth cut will make a smoother sharp edge.

I use a mill bastard file to set the edge angle then a three sided jewel stick to finish sharpening and touchup. I especially like the slightly rounded surface of the jewel stick for deltas with their slight concave edge. It also works great for Simmons heads. It will get either of these scary sharp in short order.

Not sure how the double post happened.
