10" flat diamond stones, then leather with polishing compound. Chopapopadopolis!  :D

Cheap stone I bought at Napa,and a small arkansas stone for the final stage.I use water over the stone,and sharpen all my two blades on them.I use a belt sander and a file for three blades.

I'd like to try one of those snazzy KME's every one raves about.

I've always used a file and quickly got them shaving.  I recently bought the KME broadhead sharpener and it's amazing.  It doesn't really feel that much sharper compared to my file sharpened heads, but the angle is really steep making it hold it's edge alot longer.  I shot completely through a doe last Sunday evening.  Broke a rib coming out and stuck in the mud and the head would still shave hair.

Same as wingnut except I use a 1000 grit then 6000 grit waterstone then strop on leather with auto body buffing compound to finish.

[cahaba]

I use a file and a crock stick also. Then i strop it on a piece of leather. These items carry easy in the woods.

I use the paper wheels on a bench grinder. It works really well and fast too. Alaska bow hunting sells them. I bought mine through a chef supply place on the net. Alaska bow wanted about $12 more.

[Killdeer]

My bucket's got a holllllle in it...   :p  

I have been using a Lansky on two-bladed heads with the file from the Little Shaver to set angles, then a series of progressively finer stones.

Got a double-sided diamond stone (coarse/fine) for three-bladed heads.

6" mill bastard file and light pressure. IMHO the easiest and best way to get a lethal hair poppin edge
