Sharper Broadheads with KME

[Thumper_Too]

With my meatheads, I can't get the angle high enough?  No matter how I put it I can't get it to take the marker off the cutting edge only the top of the bevel?  Using the knife sharpener.  Anyone else experienced this or am I doing something wrong?

Thumper, with the 100 grit diamond stone, it wouldn't take to awful long to redo the entire bevel. Or you can use the broadhead sharpener and a big bastard file.

I wish they would come out with some curved stones for the Sharks.... I have the jewel stick but I prefer stones to finsih they off

I believe they have those. Double check the website, but I'm sure that they have a set specifically for the Simmons type heads.

I saw they have a jewel stick but I did not see any hones or diamond hones?

Holy smokes, Thanks very much Tom!

Who knew that not only are you a deer killin' machine but an excellent photagrapher as well!  

I'm glad to hear that you like the new diamond stones and yea, that CBN emulsion on the strops is pretty amazing stuff right? That's the same progression that I've been using on my BHDs too- 300, 600, 1500 grit diamonds followed by the strop with 4 micron CBN. Face shaving sharp, and it doesn't take very long either.

Dave T, the Jewelstick is a 3 sided diamond hone with the same 3 grits as the gold series hones. It's just convex shaped instead of flat so it can sharpen concave blades like Simmons. I don't have a convex strop to go with the Jewelstick yet but we hope to add one in the not too distant future. Until then it would be fairly simple to make one with a 1/2"- 3/4" wood dowel with a piece of thin leather glued to it. Could even drill a hole in one end so that the guide rod would screw in. Thanks very much again to everyone!
