Wheelie Sharpener - WOW

[Timberking]

I actually had one of these in our knife drawer. Pulled it out last night and after 20 pulls on each side of my Zwickys I have a big hairless spot on my arm..... Never was able to do that with a file!

they work and i even put a shaving edge on my hawk. and it did not take long

I love it for my Simmons heads. Just killed a nice  buck with an Interceptor sharpened with one. I do follow up with a jewel stick and then a strop.

All my straight edge broadheads get the KME treatment.

How do those compare with the other portable sharpener the ACCUSHARP?

I have one of those and it puts a pretty darn good edge on my knives.

Thanks

will they work on snuffers

I guess I am just rada challenged as I can never get a really razor sharp edge.  Yes I can get them to shave a few hairs with moderate pressure..... with the steel master I can get them hair popping sharp with little pressure.  Love the concept but can't get the results I hear about?

One hint I got on here that helpded a lot for some reason is to put your thumb on the left wheel and butt it up to the other wheel before beginning to sharpen. Seems to really help for some reason.   BILL

Love mine! Especially the price

[David Mitchell]

One tip that I found helpful on one of these threads is to be sure you angle the broadhead down--i.e., point should point down--as you draw it through the wheels.  Pulling straight through doesn't seem to work as well, at least for me.

Hadn't tried the thumb trick... tried every angle I could --- still couldn't get them razor sharp.

I've not tried a broadhead yet. My wife has a drawer full of Rada knives, and this is the best way I've found to sharpen them.

I used a Rada sharpener for years with great results. It was the only thing I used where I could consistently get stuff sharp. The only thing I don't like about it is the amount of metal it took off.

Decided to see what all the fuss was about and upgraded to a KME system this year - WOW!

Still yet, if you need something quick and easy in the field, you can't beat the Rada sharpener.

Nice sharpener, but they cannot be considered trad equipment as they have wheels.


Sorry...

I'm pretty sharpening deficient. I have some journeyman two blades I found in a pawn shop that I couldn't do anything with until I used a rada. Now they are in my quiver!

[fnshtr]

Seriously... I have a little trouble sharpening anything but usually get it done with a medium and fine stone (from a lansky kit). I finish them off with a leather strop.

A friend told me about this type of sharpener while on an elk hunt this year. I think I will give one a try.

Nice post! Thanks.

Two of them can also make a nice spin tester.

Rob,

Thanks for the tip on the spin tester!  I do have two of the Rada sharpeners and i'll give it a try later on
