Title: Advice Needed....Broadhead Sharpener
Post by: Altiman94 on October 31, 2010, 09:47:00 PM: I'm using two blade magnus broadheads. I don't think that they come nearly sharp enough out of the package and especially not after in and out of a foam quiver a few times.

With that said...What is the best sharpener on the market? I'd be nice if it would double as a knife sharpener. My pocket knife needs touching up also.

I would buy the knife system and use it for both braodheads and knives.

I have been using it on most of my knives and on my Ace 2 blade heads. Simply use light pressure and just stroke the blade through. I use it in reverse of the instructions. I hold the tool upside down in one hand and stroke the blade through the sharpener with the other hand. This makes it easier to see what I am doing and gives me better control. They are about 12 bucks compared to the price of a KME. Hope you like it too.

Depending on blade angle, you might have to file them to more acute angle to fit the sharpener.

Easy enough to check, Sharpie marker ;)
