Single bevels

[hitman]

Easiest blades to sharpen that I have ever had. I use a 3 sided jewelstick and strop them on leather.

Wouldn't mind finding a 1.5" cut single bevel in the 150-175 weight for a screw in.

This worked for me!

Do it the way this guy teaches and never had an issue.

The greatest tricked I learned about the KME is not to bear down too hard. Smooth even strokes seem to work best whatever sharpening method is used. For some reason, though, broadheads are just more difficult overall to sharpen than knives, at least for me.

Every time I sharpen a new head, the same question comes to mind. Is it really necessary to have super hard steel  since it is literally a one shot deal? If it holds up for that one shot, all is well. For example, the old Razor Heads work just fine without being so difficult to sharpen - just look at Fred Bear's accomplishments. That characteristic is one of the reasons I like Zwickey. Easy to sharpen. I don't mean to put down anybody's choice of heads, but it seems that this topic gets more hype than is necessary. I might change my mind if I can ever get the super hard steels scary sharp.

Should be able to sharpen a single bevel with the same tool you sharpen double bevels. Some times the roll is not thinned down enough and I have been guilty of trying to break it only to wind up with a dull blade. The edge should "wire" off. Hope I make sense. While sharpening the rolled edge should start to detach by its self, once its off all u need is to strop it on leather or what ever for a hair popping edge. The new grizzly's are very easy to sharpen. KME is a great sharpener and great product.

I will be using a kme broadhead sharpener on all the broadheads in my upcoming tests with the exception of the alien broadheads, the bevel angle on them will not match up with the kme no matter how i adjust it

Took me a looong time to figure out how to hand sharpen single bevels with a file too.
Never did get a perfect smooth edge.
In fact I ended up using one particular file that would give me a micro toothed edge that was sharp as heck and cut raw steak like butter, so I went with that for a while.

Switched to 3 blade VPA's, learned how to sharpen them very quickly. I don't foresee myself using anything other than 3 blades again.

I think almost all sharpening difficulties are from too much pressure being applied. The weight of the item being sharpened is all the pressure that is required to sharpen any broadhead or knife. It just takes a while. Once you know what you are doing you can apply more weight to hog off more material faster if needed.
