Ok Here is what I have and I am able to sharpen with.

I have a 150 grain Simmons tiger sharks, and I need to sharpen them. I do not currently have a KME, and I can not afford one right now, so that is not an option, unless somebody wants to give me one...
Plus I have talked with Ron and KME and he has said what they have currently will not work well with the conclave blade shape.

So what I have is the accusharp, the rada wheel sharpener, and a set of crock sticks. Files are really not an option for me, I won't begin to tell you the number of knife blades that I have had to had somebody restore for me. I have had the best luck the crock sticks before, but what angle would you use 20 or 25?

Thanks for the help,
Chester
Ask me about CTO.

I have had decent luck just using the rada wheels and then touch up with hone so your sticks should do the job. There a good BH have killed hogs with them no problem. Good luck

I use the rada and some cardboard on mine!

There might be a tutorial somewhere on that.

Chester, maybe we should just get together and give it a try. I'll bet we're only a few miles apart. PM me if you're interested.

Get one of the Steel Master sharpening kits from Simmons. They will sharpen a knife or broadhead and it is easy to use. They are 40 bucks. LCH

I've looked at the steel master, but right now I am waiting for Ron at KME to have his holder on the market before I buy anything.
Ask me about CTO.

A piece of 3/8 dowel wrapped in 400 grit emery cloth works like a charm.
