Hi, I'm kinda new to traditional archery and I was wondering how to get a really sharp edge on my Zwickey No Mercy single bevel. They are 165grns, right bevel if that helps. And I guess another question, anyone use a thunderhead type broadhead?
Thank you, Joe
I use a Lansky/Gatco type sharpener. I added an additional "slot" on mine to get the bevel right on my Grizzlies. Lot of folks are good enough to free hand them with a file....but I'm sharpenly challenged. Good luck. Oh, make sure you dress the "flat" edge on a stone or file to make sure it is flat with no burrs. Makes a lot of difference getting single bevels scary sharp.
File them until you get a burr on the off side then lightly file the burr off that back side. Keep alternating very lightly with the file.. You might progress to a stone or smooth steel then strop with leather. That should get you a shaving edge..
Good luck
Pat
Ok, thank you for the advice
