Advise on sharpening broad heads

[Bisch]

I've used the stones, files, wheels, draw type sharpeners like the Ace and Warthog? All worked to different degrees, but the files and stones took along time and I was never happy with the edge, and I could easily ruin a blade with a wheel. I just didn't have the touch I guess. Then someone told me about the Work Sharp. I bought one and haven't looked back. It's quick, easy, and I can sharpen knives, scissors, broadheads, machete even an axe if you had to. Will even sharpen curved blades like the Simmons broadheads. Just mentioning it in case you want to look into it. I think there's a YouTube video out there on it.

I bought a worksharp just for my broadheads. I liked it OK on knives and such but returned it because it would not work for doo-doo on my broadheads!

It's KME all the way for me on broadheads!

I can sharpen just about anything with a file & a ceramic stick, but the wheels will do as good a job as anything you can find (in my opinion, better), and do it in a fraction of the time.

Just a warning however - do not try to sharpen 3 blade heads on the wheels.

If you tried to sharpen them with the guide then that was the problem. You need to remove the guide and free hand it so to speak. Very easy to do. I'll show you sometime.

The reason I use the KME is because I HAVE to have a guide to keep the angle consistent. I cannot sharpen anything if I have to hold the angle freehand.

Bisch, that's the same attitude I had until I got the set up I have now. Until I got this, I was having someone else sharpen my broadheads because I could not get them sharp not matter what I used. I can get them wicked sharp with this set up in about 2 minutes, do not use a guide, and the learning curve is about 3 or 4 old junk broadheads to practice on. I will guarantee that if I can do it with this, anyone can. The only down side to mine is that it is not very portable, so you need to keep enough heads sharp to last for an entire hunt.

I already have a set of paper wheels too. I get better results from the KME.

Thanks though,

Practice, then Practice, after that practice. it's all about holding the right angle and that takes.......Uhhh,,,Let see... Practice.

seems like it a funny joke, but obviously it's not, actually it's a lost art. a single cut file is best in my humble opinion, one long slow stroke.

Glad to see your trying to get the art back.
