Well done Steve!

yup....thats how I do it, except for step one (removing the sharpie and truing up the grind) I do on a file (the way charlie lamb taught me)      

though most points come with the pyramid tip now...maybe you should add a quick vid on how to change a needle tip to a pyramid. (to prevent tip roll on contact)

Thank you

Couldn't make out the name of those sharpening stones Steve...?

[BowHunterGA]

The stones I am using in these videos are the Smith's Diamond Stones. I am in development of a diamond stone that I think will be even better than the Smiths but there are nothing wrong with the ones I am using in the video. They will work just fine and they last forever. I have been using my "Fine" stone for years.

I still use a file as well from time to time, but a lot of folks like and use the KME. I like using both and can achieve the same results with either. The best part, at least to me, about mastering the ability to sharpen with a file is that you always have the ability to touch up your broadheads no matter where you are, just keep a file in your pack.

[Robert Armstrong]

Thanks for passing that along

good videos started stropping with cardboard and stropping makes a difference  thanks for the fine video

Thanks for the vids, but I'll have to say that sharpening 3 blade broadheads on a flat stone only gives you a 60-degree included edge, which is pretty obtuse, and not very sharp.  Sure, it'll kill stuff, but not as cleanly as it could.  Use a piece of pvc pipe of the appropriate diameter, wrap some wet/dry sandpaper around it and draw (strop motion) your broadhead down it.  Increase grit (finer), and you'll have a real sharp three-blade head.  You can even wrap leather with compound around the pvc and strop it.  I think 1.5" PVC is about right.
