Default Sharpening fixed blade BH

I missed a 135" 10 point this past weekend and of course my G5 Montec went straight into the dirt, now I'm trying to figure out the best way to sharpen it. I have a knife sharpener, I'll attach a picture because I have no idea how to describe it. I'm wondering how you all sharpen your fixed blade BH's. I don't think the carbide blades with a "V" shaped opening for the blade would work, but it might. What do you guys suggest for this? Any good sharpeners out there for somebody who doesn't have much experience?

Here's what my sharpener looks like...

i still hunt with recurve and i use fred bear points or zewicky.best thing i have used in 45 yrs is a small file.they sell ones that are real fine not course.you want a real fine cut on file.they are about 1/2 inch wide.
i have stones and lots of other things and FILE does best.its only thing i use.

Go to the G5 outdoors website. There you will find a good tuitorial on how to resharpen a montec. It is very easy to do, and that is one of the main reasons that I have stuck with the montecs for the past 3 years.

use a flat 750 grit diamond stone to get any burrs out and clean it up with a 1000 grit diamond stone to make it shave hairs. just lay the B-head flat on the stone and drag it backwards with barely any down pressure. i think montec actually sells a sharpener for the G5.
