Like to see the different ways you all sharpen your broadheads

File mostly RADA next

RADA here. Hollow ground edge is really sharp.

3 blades with Stay sharp 344, Accu-Sharp hand held, RADA

3 blades hard to beat a quality flat diamond stone…

File

Usually a file and then a couple of strokes with a ceramic rod.

File and then stone

2 blade single bevel, oil stone unless blade is chipped, then a hobby bench grinder first.

3 blades with a file and fine stone. 2 blades I use a KME sharpener.

I've found this little sharpener to be very effective.

Sharp enough to pass right on through.

The Rada does a nice job for me as well and will put a nice edge back on your steak knives too.

I should add that I strop on a piece of cardboard for the finishing touch.

2 blades Tru angle system ( files and Diamond stone) for years but been using RADA lately.

3 Blades -flat diamond stone then stop on leather

Tru Angle system for two blade Eskimo's and Razorheads. It's a shame they aren't made anymore as they make a broadhead like a Gillette razorblade.

Most of the time I just use a file but sometimes I'll also use my Smith's sharpener.

Rada for me on 2 blades and mill file and a butcher's steel on 3 blades.

File and Rada. Rada works great on Pampered Chef ceramic knifes.

bastard file and a piece of old blue jeans for my 3 blade VPA's.

3Rivers 2-Blade CC Sharpener

I have Rada, 3Rivers and other carbide sharpeners and they work well on two blade heads and knives. I've also accumulated other sharpeners that use files or stones but for my hunting heads I use a Lansky sharpener. It puts a perfect razor edge on those heads.

Phil, I like my Lansky as well.

When you are using it to sharpen your broadheads are you able to use the clamp or do you just free hand the angle on the stones?

Mostly I use an 8 or 10" mill file and then a Jewel stik.

Being sharpening challenged I went with the KME knife sharpener. I use it on my single bevel 2 blades, and it gets them so sharp it makes me nervous when I glue them on my shafts. I works equally well for my knives.

KME and Rada

Supernaut, I use the clamp.

Thanks Phil.

I can never seem to get the broadhead to stay properly in the clamp to allow the use of the angle guides. I'm sure it's operator error on my end.

KME

Rada!

8" mill bastard and a RADA or maybe an Accusharp tool. Usually RADA

KME knife sharpener with the broadhead jaws for 2-blades. Diamond sones and a good leather strop for 3-blades. I usually start with a file on both and then go to the finer sharpening.

KME and in the field I touch them up with a RADA

Rada.

I use this one, I wish I had bought a few.

Rada ans a leather strop is all I use these days.

Stay Sharp 344 for me for my 3 blades.

Usually a file and then I finish up with a jewel stick ….i do that for 2 and 3 blade heads.

Grobet single-cut fine bastard file to set the edge and a diamond steel to smooth it up afterwards. A Grizzly file in my pack to dress up a broadhead in the field.

I use the Rada and crock sticks for my 2 blade heads and it gets them plenty sharp.

Rada for 2 blade and 3Rivers 3 blade sharpener

I absolutely love my Workshop sharpener

IMO, It’s all part of the system.

One of the reasons why I shoot a two blade broadhead is because they are so easy to sharpen and touchup, then use over and over again. Lowers my cost.

I use a small flat diamond stone, or the V shaped chopsticks.

Three blades on a DMT diamond bench stone.

Two blades on the same stone with KME

Simmons sharks with the RADA or simmons sharpener.

Rada on 2 blade and wet /dry sandpaper on 3 blade

Ceramic stick for minor honing. File or belt sander for big repairs. Honing compound on a scrap of cardboard to get scary sharp.

File and steel.
