Title: Simmons Broadheads - Sharpening
Post by: BrownA5 on August 29, 2013, 10:43:00 AM
Has anyone ever used the "Broadhead Pro Sharpener" from Kustom King Archery (one of our sponsors)?  I just purchased a package of Simmons Treesharks and at least based on the description in the ad, sounds like this sharpener may be just the ticket.  All input is appreciated!

I had the small land sharks and had problems getting them sharp to my liking. I saw the video , bought the three sided file and broadhead  holder then some tiger sharks. Now I can get them the sharpest of any broadhead I have ever shot. I am ready to test them on some does.

Where do you buy the file and also the holder?  Thanks!

If you google it there are many places to buy those tools. I did find that the clamp wore down quickly as it too is being filed. No doubt the ease and effectiveness. I went to the system Simmons sells, Steemaster or something like that. Very quick and easy.

If you need more than this, you are doing something wrong.

KME has a new set up for concave heads. Check out the site. He uses a specially designed jewel stick in the knife sharpener.

I'm the worst sharpner in the world,however,I use one of those handheld sharpners I got for about $10 from 3rivers. I can get my sharks shaving sharp. The one Charlie showed looks like it would be easy to use also.

Rada X3. Sometimes I lay the angle down a little more with a chainsaw file but after that its all Rada.

Hmmm I have been eyeing a steelmaster for some time now but if the rada works just as good, I may have to try that first.

The Rada is a good value at less than $10.
