Sharpening 2 blades
« on: August 21, 2016, 12:14:00 AM »
I been shooting simmons safaris for years and could never get them sharp to my satisfaction.
Thats what friends are for I guess.
Well that has changed and I am blown away satisfied so I want to share.
I bought a jewel stik and a razorsedge air guide.

I don't know about 3 blade but for 2 blades this works! Straight or curved.
Google video sharpening simmons broadhead.
Man I wish I had this 30 years ago!

I use lansky, and just recently a work sharp. I'm new to trad but not stingers, zwickie, magnus or any other 2 blade.  The work sharp is amazing.works better than advertised and I can sharpen 6 heads in less than 10 mins.
Is it deer season yet?

I've been using the jewel stick for a couple years now....  It can flat get those heads SHARP!  Glad to hear that others are using the same method..

Good luck, shoot straight and God Bless,

Every single thing in my house gets sharpened with a 3 sided jewelstik.  I used to use the razors edge guide, very effectively.  After a while I developed a feel and no longer use it, with the same effectiveness.  I use it to finish my three blades after starting on a file as well.  It stays in my pack anytime I'm in the field for touch ups.  A fantastic product,

Sharpen each edge the way you would any knife.  

Two edge broadheads are easy.

I beg to differ, but the only thing that is easy for me to sharpen is a pencil, and then only if I have an electric pencil sharpener!!!!!!

I'm with bisch on this. I have not had much luck in the shapening department.
I have seen many threads over the years..
All I can tell you is I ran out of hair on my arm pretty fast and talk about easy.

I use the method Chris Spikes put on youtube. It makes every blade I own razor sharp. And it's so simple. Time consuming in the beginning....but simple.

I use the 3 Rivers Hollow Ground Sharpener that has the two round files in a jig on my Zwickey Eskimo's. I then take it to the ceramic stick. Sharp enough for me with my skill set. My dad is a knifemaker, but I did not inherit his sharpening skills.

Easy as a $6.00 Rada. A buddy put me on to these sharpeners. You need to give it a try. Had a difficult time with Simmons Interceptors. Watched a few Ytube videos but way too time consuming. This Rada takes about one minute max.

Ive tried a bunch of different ways, a 6 inch file is easiest to me. I can carry it in the field too. If sharpening VPA or woodsman though I need a little bigger file as I like laying those flat. I am not good at going across the two edges with the 6".
Always be stubborn.
