How Do You Sharpen Your Broadheads?

[Hud]

Many oldtimers would use a single cut file to sharpen heads, and might put a serrated edge on the head. I find this method effective with softer steel, which don't hold a honed edge very long. I have a 10" Nicholson, Black Diamond,Crosscut, wedge shaped file that works great on various heads. Stones, honing stones, oil, diamond stones and ceramic sharpeners work well on harder steel. What works for you?

Once I get the angle I want with a file I use the KME knife sharpener to get a hair popping edge I like.

I use a Spyderco Triangle knife sharpener.  It's a bit pricey - $85 (got mine quite a few years ago for only $50), but it is the best sharpener I've ever used and should last a lifetime.  Below is a link for it.

KME all the way!  Ron is a great guy and makes an awesome product.  I just bought one for my father and used it on a Abowyer Brown Bear and I can honestly say my definition of hunting sharp has changed.  I used a Lansky prior to that and in comparison its only ok...I will use KME for the rest of my hunting career!

Mill file, fine crock stick and a leather strop.

I use the KME Broadhead Sharpener.
I also use to sharpen my heads with a Lansky as IronCreekArcher mentioned. It did a good job but the KME is at least 10X faster as does a better job.

GOOD SHOOTING!

I have been using my Lansky for many years. I can use the clamp system for two blade or two blade w/removeble bleeds.

I also use just the stones to sharpen my Snuffers or WW.

KME knife sharpener. The real deal. I use removable blade Magnus Stinger broadheads.

KME sharpener, automotive wet dry sandpaper to 2000 grit mounted on a plate of glass.  Scary sharp!

[David McLendon]

KME broadhead sharpener with japanese water stones finishing with 6000 grit. So sharp you don't want to be in the same room with them

[GMMAT]

When they're new....I file them a few times to get the proper bevel.  Then....I use a $8.61 3" diamond stone to finish them.  I had a buddy here last week show me this.....and I'll never go back.  Takes about 3 minutes a head.

Jim Castro Jr,

I like it!! was just wondering if something like that would work and here you have went and done it.  

[Chester Thompson]

Only way that I have ever been able to sharpen anything, crocksticks.

Jim Castro Jr.,

Is that a picture of one you designed to get the bevel? Are using a stone to finish?
