How do you check your broadheads for sharpness?

[savagelh]

Personally for me, I shave hair off my knuckles and forearms to check for an edge. Push cutting newsprint is another way I do it. Just wondering what everyone else does to make sure your broadheads are ready to hunt.

I just feel mine. I can tell if they are sharp enough by feel. Same as a butcher, filet, hunting, pocket knife.

[J. Holden]

I also shave a few hairs.  If they pop I'm good.

I ask my buddy to test it on his arm.  If I have to take him in for stitches ( he is kinds clumsy) it is sharp enough.....

I use a rubber band. I touch each side several places up and down.

Same as reddogge, mostly.  Once in awhile,  I  will try shaving arm but not much.

Two different ways:  1) Bite into a finger nail; 2) Shave arm hair.

Usually by the time deer season opens I look like I have mange on my arms and legs.  :(

Feeling
Bitting finger nail
And shaving arm hair

I sharpen my heads very similar to what Tom Mussato does and I don't worry about it, I can tell with a light touch that they will work.

Used to shave hair years ago but now just by finger feel.

[Sam McMichael]

When they feel sharp, I then check to see if they will shave hair. Once they will, it is time to hunt.

Slicing paper, testing on fingernail, lightly brush thumb. I like the rubber band method, think I'll try that too next round of sharpening.

I run them across the diamond until I see a perfect edge and check them by feel, the time I stuck one under my thumb nail to check it didn't feel so well at all!

[Michael Arnette]

I've never been able to get them here popping sharp, I just check with my fingernail.

[Don Stokes]

It's hard to shave with a three-blade, so I mostly do it by fingernail bite and feel.

[Stump73]

Like bowhunterGa,My says can tell it's hunting season because my arms look like the mange.

[bucknut]

I'm about like BowHunterGA, Bald spots everywhere. Wish I could get the dog to hold still! Michael do you have a KME BH sharpener? Man do they make em shave! I finish mine out on cardboard and then leather.

[Pat Ct]

I've always worked with my hands some way or another so I have some nice calluses... if the broadhead cuts into them just by its own weight then it's done.

[Pine]

I check by feel just like sharpening a knife .
