How do you guys like to sharpen your Simmons Shark broadheads?

I use the Rada wheel sharpener. Works great for me.

Do a search there are a few threads on how to do them.

I lay the grind down a bit with a chainsaw file then use the wheelie for final edge and touch ups.
This stuff ain't no rocket surgery science!

The RADA (wheelie) works well.  I use the "Steel Master" sold by Simmons.

This is also a nice tutorial on youtube ...

Ive been using the grind method on the "how to " page here and finishing with the smiths diamond hone followed by the ceramic stick by smiths.I will be getting a steel master soon though,as everyone says they are the bomb.

I use a half round file and then leather strop. Sometimes I use a mild polish on the stop, flitz or even toothpaste but usually not needed. I have gotten to where I can take a 165 land shark from dull to hair popping sharp in just a few minutes. I have a steelmaster and it works well also but I can get them just as sharp now by hand after a little practice.

I use the Chris Spikes  aka landshark160 method.  Get them scary sharp.  http://youtu.be/MtNBQoVlz80

does the accusharp work pretty good?

Supposedly, Simmons is coming out with a new sharpener. Peace!

The AccuSharp works extremely well on 2-blades.  It's almost too easy.  I also use mine on my skinning knife when I'm halfway thru an elk.  They're amazing.  You can also purchase a sharpener similar to Accusharp from Ace Hardware that is designed for scissors that works wonders on single bevel broadheads.  Just finish them up by stropping on leather.

Accusharp and a ceramic stick works well. fast and easy.

Zradix

cool!
I've used an accusharp many times...with pretty good results.

Just never tried it on a edge with a shark type curve.

Good to know it works
...might have to get me some...   :rolleyes:
