I have both. I've had great results with the broadhead sharpener for my two blades and love it.  But I know that people do have good results using the knife sharpener to do broadheads.  If you can only have one the knife sharpener may be more flexible.

I have the knife sharpener and do all my 2 blades and bleeders with it as well as the obvious, knives.  I have had great success with it.  I use his flat stones for 3 blades too and they are very good.

Knife sharpener with the diamonds.....you're setup right there to sharpen anything.  If you think you'll shoot concave bladed heads like Simmons, Howard Hill's, etc. then opt for the adapted jewel stick too.

Knife sharpener for me and my Grman Kinetic 2 blades. Call Ron at KME and he will tell you which is best for what you are waning to do. Heck, he will even walk you through using it corectly if you are sharpening challenged, like me!

Knife sharpener if only one.  Works really well on single bevel, especially after I talked with Ron.

You can now order a set of off-set jaws for the knife-sharpener to more easily do broadheads. Just ordered and received them in 2 days..

Now I can do broadheads just as easy as knives on same unit..

Personally I prefer the Arkansas stones for everything but extra coarse. Nothing short of a belt sander will re-profile or take material off a super dull/damaged blade like a diamond XC.
