How to sharpen broadheads? Tell us how you do it.....

[Dannmann801]

So I get a clean pass-thru on a deer, recover the arrow, and see that the broadhead is in good shape, but one edge might need to be touched up.

Anybody care to share how they go about sharpening their broadheads?

By new ones!

I'm wasteful and retire a head after use. I may cease that this year, so I'll be paying attention.

I use the G5 sharpener..works pretty good.

My sharpener is just like this one but an earlier version without the broadhead wrench.

I use a bastard file. You have to be careful and give each edge equal strokes just as sharpening a knife. Remember that you are taking off metal with each stroke and the broadhead will be lighter in weight than when you started.

I use a arkansas stone and finish them on a piece of oiled leather.

1" 4 blade slicktrick.

I SUCK at sharpening knives with a stone.
I use a sharpener.
I just wouldn't know where to start with a broadhead. So I'm looking for step by step directions.
