Best sharpening system for fixed blade Broadheads.

I have a Stay Sharp sharpening system for my Cutthroats.

Cutthroat also will sharpen the blades before they send them for $9.00.
 
I have a kme knife sharpener which works great on knives. For Broadheads it will work if you can remove the blade from the feral. I got a stay sharp and some diamond plates and use a thin cardboard box for the strop. They get scary sharp and it’s easy.

Not trying to redirect the original topic but where did you get those diamond playes from if you don’t mind me asking?

On the stay sharp site. They are great.

The rada is incredible but only for knives in my opinion. Stupid simple, quick and effective. But it’s a practical tool for keeping knives in workmanship condition, it’s not a tool to get a BH into hunting, scary sharp condition.
 
Pensar knife sharpening system on amazon = $40 = SHARP

Add stropping with cereal box cardboard and buffing compound = REAL SHARP

I just checked my cutthroats which I sharpened in Feb and I easily dry shaved arm hair.

My thumb I sliced open yesterday sharpening a Chinadermic disagrees ha. Doesn't work well with serrated blades but for non serrated it works pretty well IMO.

whats your technique? I must be doing it wrong. I can get my knives sharp but even knives I’m not getting stupid sharp.

I think what helps me is holding the sharpener at like a 30 degree angle towards me and pulling downwards. I cut myself because I was being dumb and pushing the broadhead away from myself and my thumb got in the way.
 
Does anyone know if the magnus stingers and magnus black hornets have the same bevel angle? I am hoping to only get one sharpening jig for both

They are not the same bevel angle. Stay sharp sells two different jigs for those heads you mentioned. Have both and both get very sharp with sandpaper.

Ordered a set of DMT diamond whetstones a few days ago. Will update sharpening experience and results in the future days/weeks.
 
Ok, if the stay sharp version C can do so many angles…wouldn’t it be a one and done??? What am I missing?

The version C is much newer than the days when there were specific jigs for a hand full of broadheads.

Understood, but is there any reason to buy the older ones with the newer version C released?

I’m about to place and order is why I’m asking…

Only reason I could see if some broadheads have a really specific bevel angle so using one that doesn’t perfectly match up would take more time to sharpen as you’re reshaping the bevel
