For replaceable blade broadheads I use a Lansky sharpener. I remove the blades and clamp them into the Lansky and use the most acute angle and the finest hone. It works well but is not something you would probably take into the field with you.

I'm looking for a good portable, pocket sized sharpener myself.

I've yet to be able to sharpen a resharpenable broadhead "Thunderhead" sharp

So I buy replaceable blade heads (I shoot a low KE recurve too)

My fancy new broadhead love is the Sonic Heads ........... damn sharp, strong built, .036 blades ............... we'll see how it does on cutting flesh and bone this fall

Lansky or Gatco do a fine job. The little carbide sharpeners work well also, at least on some heads. The trick is don't use too much pressure to finish up. Some guys can do wonders with a file and stone, but I'm not one of them. Heard about using leather with jeweler's rouge on itfor the final touch, but haven't tried it yet.
