A folding diamond file, followed with a crock stick. When new, I run all my 2-bladers through a 'wheelie' to set the edge. I can go from 'factory dull' to shaving sharp in about 2 minutes flat with any 2 or 3-blade head with this combo.

I use the Little Shaver then a couple of swipes on a ceramic stick to take the burr off and they are scary sharp.

I cant sharpen worth beans, and because I cant do that I'm forced to use broadhead's that I really don't want to, I have been practicing on an old magnus that I have laying around and it seems to take forever, I even, watched the HOW TO portion on the Tradgang video, Maybe I'm a moron....

Well, the KME of course!
Doug,
I'm a sharp fanatic too. You can give me a call if you like. I love to talk sharpening and bowhunting.

Dremmel Tool. Not fun but it's fast in a pinch. KME looks interesting.

I would have to agree with the KME Sharpener for two blades. This is the real deal ! I've got my Grizzlies sharper than I thought possible. Also, Ron is as good of a guy to talk to as you'll find !

I sharpen grizzlies and single bevel Hills the same way Howard Hill sharpens his. I've never had hair pull through and I think I get better blood trails than with shaving sharp.

Part of the satisfaction of tradtional for me is being able to kill an animal with a head that I hand sharpened using just a file,butchers steel and leather strop
