For the sharpening challenged. Hope these might help you a bit. If you are an old pro perhaps a new technique.

Great video for the Snuffer!
Great stuff Steve! Thanks.
Nice videos!
Bisch
your video for the snuffer helped me alot thanks!
very good! thanks
Great videos! and great products!
Well done Steve!
yup....thats how I do it, except for step one (removing the sharpie and truing up the grind) I do on a file (the way charlie lamb taught me) :)
though most points come with the pyramid tip now...maybe you should add a quick vid on how to change a needle tip to a pyramid. (to prevent tip roll on contact)
Thank you
Couldn't make out the name of those sharpening stones Steve...?
The stones I am using in these videos are the Smith's Diamond Stones. I am in development of a diamond stone that I think will be even better than the Smiths but there are nothing wrong with the ones I am using in the video. They will work just fine and they last forever. I have been using my "Fine" stone for years.

I still use a file as well from time to time, but a lot of folks like and use the KME. I like using both and can achieve the same results with either. The best part, at least to me, about mastering the ability to sharpen with a file is that you always have the ability to touch up your broadheads no matter where you are, just keep a file in your pack.
Regards,
Great videos Steve!!
Thanks for passing that along
good videos started stropping with cardboard and stropping makes a difference thanks for the fine video
Thanks for the vids, but I'll have to say that sharpening 3 blade broadheads on a flat stone only gives you a 60-degree included edge, which is pretty obtuse, and not very sharp. Sure, it'll kill stuff, but not as cleanly as it could. Use a piece of pvc pipe of the appropriate diameter, wrap some wet/dry sandpaper around it and draw (strop motion) your broadhead down it. Increase grit (finer), and you'll have a real sharp three-blade head. You can even wrap leather with compound around the pvc and strop it. I think 1.5" PVC is about right.
