Guys, please direct me to a reasonably priced small single bevel sharpener.

I have tried to get Grizzley heads sharp by traditional techniques and never been satisfied.

Thanks

Depends on reasonably. The Ken Onion sharpener might work for you, and even the Staysharp guides can work. Once my machine jig is set hopefully I can do broadheads and mail 'em out for folks who struggle with heads like that.

The sigle bevel sharpener sold by Strickland Archery ( demo on You Tube ) also sold on

Black Ovis.

The KME was the trick for me. I tries some other cheaper ones. That was money wasted. I was also frustrated with Grizzlys. Now, they're easy.

I’ve been able to do fine with a file and sharpie but I had some serious trouble with some factory grinds that I just couldn’t figure out. I used a worksharp for those and I’m sure it could put a heck on an edge on a single bevel. Just side the fine belt then the polishing cloth belt.

You could make one.

I have a video on YouTube "Homade broadhead sharpening jig"

I got the edge sharpening system from centaur and will never look back. I feel like i can get good results with stones and files but this is a fraction of the time and superior. If you have a bench grinder i highly suggest it. Deadly sharp. Everytime. Super quick

I do have a hobby shop bench grinder for a nick in the blade but for regular sharpening

I just use an oil stone on my Strickland heads ( easy and fast ).

Stay Sharp jig. I believe 3-Rivers sells them. Relatively inexpensive and work well.

I am a big KME fan. I use the broadhead jaws in the knife sharpener and it gets heads very sharp. The diamond stones and leather strip are great for 3 blades too.

I've been using the Stay Sharp for some time now with a large course, then fine stone. It works great.

Try the rada sharpener $ 11.97 at amazon..Works great.

From: Phil Magistro

The only RADA sharpeners I've seen are for double bevels, not single.

I have a Lansky sharpener that I use.

I've been shooting Grizzlies or Cutthroats for almost 10 years. I finally got the KME sharpener two years ago. I should have bought it a long time ago. There are several other methods that work, but the jig is the most efficient.
