I think I am in the zone sharpening my broadheads both Woodsman 3 blades and single bevel Grizzly's. My forearms however look they have mange (especially my left) from checking sharpness. Not complaining though, feels good to be able to get them hair popping sharp, a file and a ceramic stone are my tools.

Yeah man. Wear shorts and check it on your leg if you run out of arm hair!

Do you sharpen your Woodsman broadheads with two blades on the stone at a time, or do you create a more acute angle on each blade than you would get by holding two blades on the stone at a time? If you create a more acute angle, what is your method for doing that? I've never been able to get them super sharp with the 60 degree angle you get when you hold two blades on the stone at a time, but some people seem to be able to do it.

Grobet file with decreasing pressure and strokes flat across the blades and then a fine diamond hone with 10-8-6-4-2-1 strokes on each all around. When I get to 1 stroke on each I go lighter and lighter. Strop very lightly backwards on cardboard.
