Accusharp?
« on: September 10, 2012, 10:24:00 PM »
Does the accusharp sharpener work good on eskimos and ace heads? Cause I just can't get them sharp with a file. I've watched videos and I'm getting frustrated!

The Accusharp will work fine for you bud!! You can hog metal off the edge with heavy strokes if needed to establish the angle, then go lighter with it to finish.

Charlie is right, I sharpen everything from broadheads to axes with mine.

I always use them to "touch up" my broadheads after using a file.  They're a great little sharpener.     :thumbsup:

I also switched to AccuSharp this year for my broadheads and knives.  Couldn't be any easier or faster to use and get REALLY sharp.  I used to take two knives with me to bone out my elk but now I just take one knife and my AccuSharp.  Half way thru my elk I'll take 30 seconds to sharpen it up again.

These days I tend to use the Accusharp less than I used to since I finally learned to sharpen my broadheads with a file. But I still use one for touch-up and in the field. Great little tool.

I've had a few over the years. Never seemed to work too great gives a jagged edge and I would never use it on a good knife.

SHAVING sharp in literally 30 seconds. I can shave hair off of my arm in 30 seconds with this thing. I don't see any need for the expensive equipment when this $10 tool works so well... but that's just me

where do you guys get these.
Are they all they same. Looks like walmart sells them. But would that be the same one that 3 rivers sells?

You can find them in a lot of different places but you have to get the real one.

I bought one for the kitchen knife drawer that looked just like an accusharp but it wasn't worth a toot.

If you can't find one locally, just google it and pick your place to buy.
