Get a KME. Crazy Sharp.

Will they grab a nail or cut paper easily? If so, they're probably sharp enough, but I agree with above, the sharper the better.

Shave dry leg hair-my leg!

Shave dry arm hair effortlessly.....I am usually wearing pants.

Get a 10" flat file for around $10 at Lowe's. Get an old belt from a thrift store. Thick leather type. No fake leather. And a block of wood around the size of the belt. A 2x4 chunk about 8" long will work.

File both sides equally to get a burr. File lighter to get the burr flapping side to side. Strop it off. Shave your hair, leg or arm.

I sharpened two old Bear razorheads a few nights ago. So freakin' easy to have them shaving sharp in a few minutes. Practice at it. You'll get it.

Forgot to mention..cut the belt and glue the leather to the wood to get a strop block about 8" long.

As my skills improve... I like em sharper and sharper!

Magnus!! My go-to head. EASY! EASY! Go to the hardware and get an Accusharp. Take 5-10 good medium-hard swipes. Touch up on some ceramic sticks. 3 minutes per head. Shaving sharp. With slight pressure it will take hair off my arm.

I also have KME- it will get them sharp-maybe even better than I do now HOWEVER it takes a lot of time. I do knives with KME- BUT I am too impatient for heads.

I like 2-3 minutes and ready to go for this sharpening challenged guy. Been doing this for 20 years.

Cut 1/2" hanging rope sharp. Shaving sharp is just the beginning. I've been able to sharpen anything to "can't feel it cut" sharp for twenty years. I even resharpen scalpel blades when they get dull.

I like Arkansas stones and finishing with a diamond steel. Sometimes I use wetsanding and up to 2500 grit paper.

People move from grit to grit too early and apply too much pressure-I want it done now! LOL
Forget it is a BH-it is just an edged weapon like a knife or spear and you need to get it sharp!

So sharp that they scare me when I handle them. Like KSDan said - start with an accusharp - you can get Magnus heads quite sharp with that.

djohnson · September 29, 2014, 02:11:00 PM

As sharp as possible. The easier they shave the better.

Keith Langford · September 29, 2014, 04:15:00 PM

kme and the broadhead jaws and a jewell stick got my landsharks shaving sharp.
