Title: broadhead angle
Post by: razorback on September 10, 2011, 02:41:00 PM
I am sharpening some Magnus two blades on a KME knife sharpener. Can anybody tell me what the correct or best angle is to sharpen them at.

I  do 25 degrees. Ron at KME does them for me, then all I have to do is touch them up. He just did some Zwickey Delta 2 blades for me

25 is my favorite KME setting as well.  My left forearm is proof that it is shving sharp.  There is barely any hair left on it from my Ace Standard heads.

Black the edge of the bevel so you can see how the stone contacts the edge and adjust to fit THAT angle.Actual angle changes with width of head and where you position the clamp on the blade.

The angle changes depending on how you put the head in the clamp, just eye ball it as best you can.

The KME gets mine really sharp.
