Title: Sharpening Simmons Shark broadheads
Post by: bullcalf on September 19, 2013, 01:10:00 AM
Just got some of these in and tuned them.  They fly great but aren't as sharp out of the pack as I want.  Problem is I don't know how to sharpen them evenly.  Will some of you experienced with this head share your tricks, please?

Thanks, God bless and good huntin'

I use the steel master from simmons works great. But there is a lot more info. on here from other people sharpening them different ways and I am sure they work good!

Rada wheel sharpener has been talked about quite a bit lately.   Works for me on everything.   Cheap and almost too easy.

I've tied the steel master and the wheelie sharpener....I must be sharpening impaired or something because I can't get mine sharp enough to shave the hair off my arms and I've watched every video tutorial I can find ! Awesome broad head though !

KME knife sharpener will sharpen anything great investment

File then the RADA wheelie sharpened four last night. These were old ones I hear the edge on the new ones is low enough to just use the RADA cant't beat the RADA look up at knife stores on line $5.50 free shipping can't beat that!

There is a tutorial on yout*** from Chris Spikes.  Just type in 'sharpen Simmon's sharks' and it will come up.  He uses a 3 in 1 Hewett Jewel stik and it comes out SHARP!  He also uses a broadhead guide.  I have used this method also and think it is wonderful!

I'm very impressed with the outcome!

Good luck!

I second looking at the chris spikes tutorial.  I use that method and can shave with them in no time.
