Single Bevel Broadhead Sharpening Easy

[@hankcogburn2600]

I bought this rig to sharpen my broad heads and of course I have the broad head with the 40 degree bevel. I re profiled one of my heads it took about an hour. The rig works. Time for a new brand of broad head.

[@williamzr2]

Been using this sharpener for almost two years, really does work well. Had a kitchen incident last Tuesday that required 7 stitches. The doctor asked how I keep my knives so sharp. He is dropping off his knives this week for a tune up. Hoping that WorkSharp sees the value in Broadhead sharpening and finds a way to hold the Broadheads a little better to keep from hitting the ferrule and/or clamp. Nice work 🤙🏼

[@scottbrightman3662]

I just bought the work sharp elite model. Hum does fantastic job on grizzly stick Masai, 200 single beveled Broadhead. Upon your infinite wisdom, and your advice on how to properly sharpen a single bevel Broadhead. I experimented with interpretation of screwing this up. Mind you grizzly stick puts out a very good Broadhead/not cheap. And they came out. Oh my God razor sharp. Thank you ranch fairy. Thank you very much.

[@briangothard4139]

I suck at sharpening broadheads, I've struggled for years, tried stones, fine sandpaper, stropping etc. and I'm just bad at it. I got this last night and spent more time than i care to admit using this trying to get the angel right etc. I got it worked out on day 2 and now I have one side of a double bevel broadhead shaving the hair off my arm! Thank you Troy! Now just got to do the other side then hit the rest of my broadheads.

[@blessedvetoutdoors]

This is a very comprehensive video of sharpening your B head. Thank you sir. Great video.

[@C.Adams82]

This device is a big difference maker in sharpening single bevel broadheads. I'm a big knife guy and know how to sharpening knives properly. With two cutting sides it's fairly easy but when there's only one side it gets a little more difficult, not really difficult but more time consuming when doing it by hand. And with a single bevel you have to be very precise, you don't have that other cutting side to give a little forgiveness. This device gives you that precision. Great video and glad you made it cause I don't know if I would've found this device on my own.

[@EarlScyoc-km2qs]

Purchase the precision adjust works great on my hunting knife and now onto my broadheads. Great informative video

If you can convince them to make a clamp that will hold a broadhead square, they’d sell these things like hotcakes.

Stay sharp guides do too. They are cheap and easy as hell to use.thy have the corner cut off so you put the head in woth an angle and the blade matches flat to the diamond plate.

[@blakejewell8209]

I'm all about scarry sharp broadheads and I appreciate the content. No more stropping? No more single bevel? I'm sure this tool works great given the time to use it. I personally don't see anything being quicker, easier and more precise than a KME (with appropriate jaws) glass surface, varying grits of wet sand paper and cardboard with polishing compound. Thanks again Troy!

[@CRGtx325]

I own one of these sharpeners. I’d always considered trying to sharpen broadheads with it. Now I definitely will! Thanks Ranch Fairy!

[@johnwood1010]

I have one of these , and this is the Perfect application for it ! I have a larger fancier version , but takes up a LOT of room. So I purchased this little guy. However I really prefer the larger for knives , SO HAPPY to have the perfect application for this fine little tool. FYI Gritomatic has a cheap little brace you can add under the arm that removes the bit of flex that hurts consistency. I found that a Big improvement. Thanks Troy

okay i got both the boradheads and the workshop sharpener, i tried to sharpen a knife and failed.... i am not sure what i am doing wrong. The vise on this sharpener sucks balls the knife just moves around no matter how much i crank it down.

[@stevie9361]

Hey yall, you can also sharpen iron will single bevels on it. Start at 30 degrees with a 320 grit. That sets new bevel to 30 instead of the 34 it has. Once you have new bevel take it out the machine an lay flat on your stone to strop the flat back side. I use 320 to 600, to 800. It will shave hair at this point.

Can you sharpen the magnus black hornet with this?

The pin at the end of the stone, Will that pin attach to the base from the top instead of the bottom? It may increase the angle a bit more for the heads that are above 30°. I have a couple that are 35° and would love to have a sharpener like this one.

[@chadlindstrom7405]

Nice vid!! Do you know the bevel angle of the new Magnus 150gr single bevel? Thanks

[@ryanp5413]

Just got this sharpener. Used to sharpen tuffhead evolution 28 degree single bevel. Took awhile to get first edge sharp but after I got it down second edge was done in minutes. Only thing I had to do diffent was the 28 degree mark on the tower wasn't getting full bevel, moved to about 26.5 degree and it was perfect. Do you strop always? Even after ceramic?

[@erichanss3300]

I have the less expensive version, and I feel like I struggle with curved surfaces. Do you have any tips?

[@YoureSoVane]

Convex or concave require basically the same technique: you have to move in one fluid motion across the blade, without focusing on one spot more than the others. It's more of a sweep across the length of the blade than a drag up and down against the edge. I sharpen a lot of knives. It's something that you'll feel once you get it right. Some freaking Mr. Miyagi stuff but the blade will tell you what it wants. It'll make sense based on the shape of the blade. Also, pick one stone or a set for curved edges. The corners or edges of the stone will be rounded over time, or the center will wear out faster. That will work better for curved blades and not very well for straight edges in the future.

[@joshsaunders438]

I’m trying to sharpen new RF Broadhead’s and I have my tower maxed out as high as it can go and I’m still only hitting at the top of the bevel? Did they change the blade angle since this video? I don’t want to have to grind thru this far. Has anyone else experienced this either the RF heads?

[@tracychilds3546]

I like it ive been wanting something easier than just hand and eyeballs but after a while that gets hard to beat but this makes it so much more consistent especially when you have to recut the bevel for some reason other than just getting an edge on it thanks promo code in the near future?

[@RanchFairy]

You are correct!! That's why I waited so long to post a how to video on tools for sharpening broadheads. Nothing was really top notch. That is solved.

[@NW_Outdoorz]

Work sharp is a awesome company and I love there products. They have a new sharpener out that I want but they keep selling out lol

[@whipplefilter]

If you put pressure on the blade the plastic holder will push away. That’s why your sharply may was whipped away at the to and not smooth throughout. It took me a few times of practice to learn that.

[@RanchFairy]

Yeah, I forgot to mention that!!

[@illkabongg]

Great video I was wondering about this. How do you feel about the other worksharp sharpeners? Do you think the Ken Onion "Knife and tool sharpener MK2" would work?

[@RanchFairy]

Fact is, I've not tried it. So I don't know.

[@Matt_hasshots]

Will we ever see a worksharp and ranch fairy collaboration to design a clamp that holds broadheads specifically? That would be awesome.

[@RanchFairy]

Working on that.

[@BrothaAustin]

Serious question.Would you not be better off to hit the bevel edge on the machine then take the broadhead out of the guide lay it flat side down on the stone and grind off the burr to keep it a true single bevel

[@heathatkinson9491]

could you machine a slot in the centre of the clamp jaws so the thread goes inside and you clamp each jaw either side. would it still work would mean your sharpening on the angle then which may be too much

[@terrycalvert7812]

If the cutting edge is not square to the clamp as the sharpening stone moves toward the tip of the broadhead the angel changes so your changing the angle of the cutting edge from front to back setting it in the clamp that way. The broadhead needs to be clamped as parallel as possible to the clamp to keep an even angel across the whole blade

[@RanchFairy]

Yes, but even if you change the bevel angle a bit, once you do it that way, it's set. Still works great.

[@samivey8416]

Remember with diamond sharpener items to use the entire face or move to different sections as you go. You will wear them uneven if you don't

[@austinkorte7221]

A pencil eraser works really good to clean that ceramic with.

[@ephlax18]

Can you tell me if this will work with an Ironwill single bevel? they claim 35 degree I believe but I bought one of those other clamp tools that you spoke about in the past and it seems to be off a little bit.

@Ranch Fairy there doesn't seem to be any that does that kind of extensive testing as you might.

[@tonymessina2417]

Good stuff! I have some Single Bevels laying around that have a 35 degree bevel, do you think it would be okay to set that tool to the 30 degree setting and re-bevel them the small 5 degrees? Thanks!

[@RanchFairy]

id put the tower as high as possible (bevel side) - I think it will do 32. But yeah, grind them down. Once it is set, you're golden. Id put a spacer under the clamp so it doesn't flex around while you're grinding.

[@walterbrown8293]

So I get that the sharpener is good at being consistent, but this is technically not a single bevel correct? It's a single bevel profile for 95% of the broadhead but the edge itself is double bevel. Is this just because of the coating that you don't want to grind it off to get to the burr from a flat surface to keep the single bevel? With something like an Iron will where I can take the ferrule off would I have the same issue? Is this that much more consistent than a rolling clamp?

[@YoureSoVane]

If you don't have the time or skill to hand grind like I do, get a jig like this. Knife sharpening was my first marketable skill. I have about as much time sharpening knives as I've spent shooting arrows. Get a series of stones and strops. They don't need to be expensive, they just need to be consistent. Strops are cheap, and so is stropping compound. That's where you'll do your trial and error, and not more the expensive stones. And test your edges. Run your thumbnail against the length of the edge and feel for nicks and chips. See if it shaves hair off your arm or leg. Does it drag and cause burn? Or does the hair just pop off without resistance? If you cut paper with it, can you make sharp angles and intricate shapes or can you only cut clean in a straight line? That's how you'll know if it's sharp.

[@ChristopherGreen-p4j]

Exactly which version is this one?

[@RanchFairy]

It is the precision adjust elite. But I modified one of the stone sets to match the precision adjust. Tower is exactly the same.

[@justingregory2179]

So I bought $200 worth of your broadheads after watching your videos and sharpening with the work sharp. I do love your videos and agree with all you say but the work sharp is set at maximum 30 degree and your broadheads are 35 degree. It sucks changing that angle. I just hope they’ll perform once changed. Once again I love your videos just wasn’t expecting the drastic change in angle

I don't remember talking about Iron Will (I did say if bevel is over 30 degrees this tool won't work....guess honesty isn't a thing. So I guess I'll have to watch my own video. And the compound bevel was COMPLETELY discussed. There is even a picture. WOW! You missed on that one. Put simply. a little bit (tiny bit) of a back bevel while remaining completely consistent......gets sharp and toughens the edge (This was discussed) and is supported by the tactical knife folks for durability....(that was also discussed.) You and the brand X sharpening jig folks need to stay in your lane.
