I use the Rada wheel sharpener. Works great for me.

I lay the grind down a bit with a chainsaw file then use the wheelie for final edge and touch ups.

The RADA (wheelie) works well. I use the "Steel Master" sold by Simmons.
This is also a nice tutorial on youtube ...

I use a half round file and then leather strop. Sometimes I use a mild polish on the stop, flitz or even toothpaste but usually not needed. I have gotten to where I can take a 165 land shark from dull to hair popping sharp in just a few minutes. I have a steelmaster and it works well also but I can get them just as sharp now by hand after a little practice.

The AccuSharp works extremely well on 2-blades. It's almost too easy. I also use mine on my skinning knife when I'm halfway thru an elk. They're amazing. You can also purchase a sharpener similar to Accusharp from Ace Hardware that is designed for scissors that works wonders on single bevel broadheads. Just finish them up by stropping on leather.

cool!
I've used an accusharp many times...with pretty good results.
Just never tried it on a edge with a shark type curve.
Good to know it works
...might have to get me some... :rolleyes:
