Broadhead sharpeners/need advice
« on: October 13, 2008, 03:03:00 PM »
I really have no clue which way to go with this, I was looking at the X block offered by 3 Rivers. Right now i shoot Phantoms and Magnus Stingers but would like to have a sharpener that can 2,3,4 blade heads.  Thanks for any advice.  Joe

My Gatco does 2 and 4 if the extras are removable bleeders unlike zwicky.Not sure you'll get something that does those 2 AND 3 blade other than a flat file.There are other fine systems lanski which I havn't used and somebody here does a nice job with their system.I think his handle is sharpster

good luck
Shoot straight and have FUN!!

two blades & any removable blades can be done by the KME (kmesharp.com).  Ron (aka Sharpster here on the gang) is a top notch guy to deal with.  Get in touch with him, see what he says.  He has a broadhead sharpener and a knife sharpener.  Both are great.

I bought the KME knife sharpner and can sharpen my two magnus heads scary sharp. I thought my heads were sharp before, but now I am afraid to take them out of the quiver. I like the knife sharpener because you can adjust the angle. I grind them at 25 degrees then put a finish edge at 29. I finaly found a sharpener that works.

I LOVE my Lanskey for two bladed broadheads with or without bleeder blades. I was able to get it shave a spot on my arm clean with one stroke on the first try and I SUCK at sharpening things.

Sorry,BobW ... the "bow" is a frequent Freudian slip for me, and should be taken only as compliment if not also complement. Bow2old

Does Ron have a store, or does TradGang have a sponser that carries them?

Thanks!

Here's Ron's website. Give him a call - he'll take good care of you.

Definitely give Ron @ KME a call.  I have the knife sharpener - can sharpen both your knives and broadheads.

The guys have said it above me but I'll echo their statements - Ron is a class guy!  He'll answer any questions you have and make sure you're getting the results you want.  Give him a call.

He sent me a batch of modified Grizzly "El Grandes" - all I will say is they are "scary" sharp.  I promise to have some pics up in the next day or two.  I'll take them out of the package and take the photos so people can see the edge that he puts on them.
