How do you guys like to sharpen your Simmons Shark broadheads?
I use the Rada wheel sharpener. Works great for me.
Do a search there are a few threads on how to do them.
I lay the grind down a bit with a chainsaw file then use the wheelie for final edge and touch ups.
The RADA (wheelie) works well. I use the "Steel Master" sold by Simmons.
This is also a nice tutorial on youtube ...

Ive been using the grind method on the "how to " page here and finishing with the smiths diamond hone followed by the ceramic stick by smiths.I will be getting a steel master soon though,as everyone says they are the bomb.
I use a half round file and then leather strop. Sometimes I use a mild polish on the stop, flitz or even toothpaste but usually not needed. I have gotten to where I can take a 165 land shark from dull to hair popping sharp in just a few minutes. I have a steelmaster and it works well also but I can get them just as sharp now by hand after a little practice.
I use the Chris Spikes aka landshark160 method. Get them scary sharp. http://youtu.be/MtNBQoVlz80
does the accusharp work pretty good?
Supposedly, Simmons is coming out with a new sharpener. Peace!
The AccuSharp works extremely well on 2-blades. It's almost too easy. I also use mine on my skinning knife when I'm halfway thru an elk. They're amazing. You can also purchase a sharpener similar to Accusharp from Ace Hardware that is designed for scissors that works wonders on single bevel broadheads. Just finish them up by stropping on leather.
Accusharp and a ceramic stick works well. fast and easy.
cool!
I've used an accusharp many times...with pretty good results.
Just never tried it on a edge with a shark type curve.
Good to know it works
...might have to get me some... :rolleyes:
