    What tool specifically are you using to sharpen your broad head blades? I like to change my blades after every deer but that's getting expensive so I thought I'd just resharpen them. Lots of options out there so I thought I'd ask the brain trust here whats working best for your broad head blades.
    Thanks!

    I bought the sharpening tool from Muzzy. I use Muzzy blades, so I figured it would be the best tool for the job.

    I use Muzzy BHs and if I shoot a deer and the blade isn't chipped, I'll sharpen it. I just use this.

    When I shoot Slick Tricks, I just use pliers and a sharpening stone to sharpen the blades. I color the bevel with a sharpie, then run it across the stone. The sharpie tells me if I have the correct angle and that there are no chips or dents left.

    On my standard fixed blades I use an Arkansas soft stone.

    That is what I do with my Slick Tricks.

    Then I finish 'em up with the BH Sharpener to maintain the angle. This process gets 'em :ninja: sharp!

    Anyone use a ceramic pointing stone. We use them to sharpen sheep shearing cutters and they usually get things scary sharp.
