RADA sharpener

[Longbowcrowder66]

 Hey guys I was wondering if this sharpener works well on two blade heads like zwickey delta's? would like some feed back...to me it looks a little cheesey...I normally just use a bastard file.. Thanks

I hear they work well on concave edges like Simmons. I’m sure they would on Zwickeys but I use a stone

It does look cheesy,  but YES it works!  I sharpened both knives and broadheads with it.
Good luck, shoot straight and God bless,

Works fantastic on Zwickey.

That little tool works great......just a few passes and then on to the strop for a few and good to go, shaving sharp!!!

 Great product. A friend of mine had something similar 20 years ago and made me a believer then with 3-4 passes on a pocket knife that made it shaving sharp. I ha e two now.

Inexpensive and very well made. Does a hell of a job on broadheads regardless of blade profile. For Hill heads and Simmons it's the only way to go.

Looks cheesy but don't let that sway ya. The sucker is the cats meow for quick easy sharpening that a knucklehead couldn't screw up.

Works great on my Zwickeys and knives.  Easy fit in the back quiver pouch.

Heck of a lot better than Rada knives.

It looks like all the other wheel sharpeners. I don't know why but it works where the others don't. >>>----> Ken

Go ahead and just order 2-3 while your at it, I stick them everywhere.

the RADA solved my problems, and you'd be hard pressed to find a worse sharpener than me before that. works great on broad heads and all my knives.

RADA is the only way to go.

I can't tell you the number of sharpeners I have bought--they are all in the trash now. RADA is simple to use, and gets my treesharks shaving sharp.

I hate to be a contrarian but since broadhead sharpening is my business (as well as being a knife maker) and collector of knife and broadhead sharpeners and the owner of magnified imagery tools, I can tell you there is a good reason NONE (ZERO) knife and broadhead and razor blade manufacturers sharpen the blades they make in the direction a Rada or other "V" shaped sharpeners do. All knife and broadhead and razor blade makers sharpen/hone perpendicular to the cutting edge, not parallel to the cutting edge.

If you looked (under magnification) at the edge produced by a Rada or any of the other "v" shaped "drag through"  sharpeners, you would understand what they very rough and jagged edge looks like vs a correctly honed and razor sharp edge.

I understand the appeal of the rada type sharpeners (especially on concave heads like Simons sharks, etc) because they require no skill to use and they are fast but the edge they produce has little longevity and is as jagged as the top of a tuna can (which is why you feel and hear the "chattering" as you drag your blade through the rada.

A honed edge (perpendicular to cutting edge)

While I'm sure your post and information is well intended I fail to get your point. I sure wouldn't want to push the edge of a tuna can lid across my throat.
