SteelMaster sharpener sold by Simmons is the best I've used.

Use the search function, lots of good threads in the archives on the different methods to sharpen them.

I've been using the SteelMaster and having good results,but it doesn't seem to get them hair popping sharp.  There is a video on you tube by Chris Spikes. He uses the razors edge clamp and a big jewel stik. I think I'm going to try this method.

I ordered a razor edge jewel stick and ceramic steel so hopefully i can get these things sharp like on the you tubes.  I have been usign teh wheelie for the interceptors and that works fine but nothign like the ol boy on the you tubes.

I use the the jewel stick and razors edge guide, Landshark160's method. Works awesome, will get them so sharp that you will be afraid to be in the same room with them.

Any of you guys use the Chris Spikes method with the 2" wide treesharks? I assume it will work about as well even though they're much wider than the interceptors or safaris.

Chris shoots 2" treesharks.
I use his method with tigersharks with good results.

I thought the video showed interceptors but I may have been mistaken. Thanks
