Pat55, I use a gatco jig with a jewelstick that is threaded on the end and accepts a rod to go into the gatco. I go 22 degrees with the course to get a burr ON BOTH SIDES and then mediume and fine. I finish with a couple swipes on a leather strop and I swear they are like a razor.    BILL

These are some of the most nastiest looking wounds I ever seen..... I think I like it.

Anyone have problems sharpening them with a paper wheel due to the curvature of the blade?

I use the paper wheel that Centaur sells.  It is narrower than the one sold by ABS and fits in the "curve" better.  The steelmaster sharpening system sold by simmons works really well also.

Thanks Bullfrog, I checked it out and it looks exactly like the Lansky system. Can’t really see any difference. I am going to see if I can find these locally and have a better look. Maybe I picked up some defective heads. They look like the originals I have just with the Ferrell longer. Maybe they are not supposed to be that way. Dun know.
Experience is a wonderful thing. It teaches to recognize a mistake when you do it again.

Maybe not defective heads at all----the Simmons are a bit challenging to get your initial edge on, but once you have them sharp it is simple to touch them up on a ceramic stick in the field.

Bill, I am using the 2" Treeshark.  The top pic I was using the Treeshark with the bleeder blade installed.  The bottom two were with the glue on two blade shark.  All I use is the two blade now. The bleeder blade usually ends up broken off inside the animal anyway.

I've taken too may deer and bear with the 190 gr. Interceptor to count, including the big bear in my avatar photo.  They cut BIG holes and fly really well.  The guy who started it all, Jerry Simmons, is a friend of mine.  Many years ago Jerry gave me the prototype for his SteelMaster sharpening system (I think that's what he called it.) After that I could put a hair rolling edge on those concave heads in a hurry.
