Best sharpening technique for Zwickey Eskimos?

Hackbow · « **Reply #1 on:** April 30, 2018, 02:31:36 AM »

I use the Rada sharpener on all my two blade heads. It may take a little longer on the Zwickeys due to their being on the harder end of the spectrum but once sharp, touch up is a breeze.

I use knife sharpening techniques for sharpening Zwickey broadheads. I give them a convex edge by strop sharpening them on wet/dry automotive sand paper.

a good clean file.

File , stone , Lansky and the kme. The last takes the most time but gives the best edge. It also takes a bit of learning.
Remember to strop regardless of method.

X2 on a file.

Rada for me. Not too much pressure, though.

Lansky, followed by light passes on the truck window edge, followed by a strop on jeans leg. But I've gotten them sharp enough with just a file, too. Hard to mess up.

I use a diamond stone for everything

I like to get that triple thick part of the tip even with a file then take them across an accu sharp. I prefer it to the rada

kevsuperg · « **Reply #12 on:** May 01, 2018, 08:09:06 AM »

Tru-angle files and a strop.

Zradix · « **Reply #13 on:** May 01, 2018, 04:40:58 PM »

Used to file them.
Now I use an accusharp...works good.

MikeNova · « **Reply #14 on:** May 01, 2018, 05:47:18 PM »

Accusharp.

File n strop

Kme of course.

jbpharmd · « **Reply #17 on:** May 01, 2018, 08:08:31 PM »

I use a Rada wheel sharpener for my deltas and finish on leather or cardboard. I am not good at sharpening things but with this process I can get them shaving sharp.
