Fantastic, thank you. I need to re-sharpen a knife I made out of an antler years ago. It has gotten dull as heck.

Steve-O you pull the head towards you and with a downward motion with the point towards you when sharpening the Snuffers, is this correct???

There Is actually a big difference between the 2 although they look similar like you eluted to. The Wensels are longer and skinnier and there tip's tend to break on them all too often when they hit something hard such as bone. More people from the sounds of It shoot the Wensels instead of the Snuffers. That I can not figure out for the life of me. I guess some of the bow hunters that use them will intentionally break the tips on the Wensels and then redo the head to there liking. I've never seen It done though. To much trouble and work for me.

1st of all find an old arrow and break It off so It's a foot long and then screw your BH In It and use this when sharpening. You get much better leverage and bite on your the sticks. It will get done much quicker then using just your hand.

Joe- Start close to the top with the BH tip pointing away from you and slowly go down the shaft of the stick pulling It towards you as well. Work on one side of the head for a good 15 to 20 strokes and then turn It and go to the next side of the head. Keep repeating until your happy with the edge. Some of the edges will sharpen quicker then the others. Some of the edge's may take a little more attention then the others.

Thanks Steve. I might just look into this system! I use the old file and stone way to sharpen mine, sure was a chore but well worth the effort!

I have used them since Rodger introduced them to the public with my Trad bows, and off and on with the compound.
Sharpen them with a standard flat Diamond, Ceramic, or Arkansas stone, and finish them up on a strap of leather to take any burs off.



Start.



Finish.



Take burs off with leather strap.

Always remember to hit each side of the broadhead the same amount of times so the point stays centered or they wont true to your arrows.

This takes longer than with ceramic sticks because the majorty of the blades are always in contact with the stone, but it is easy to take to much off of theback or tip of the broadhead with the sticks because of the very small surface area that is touching.

My budddy shoots these and swears by them. They seem to be a great BH.

Just got some Crock Sticks, I'll let you know how I do shortly!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy' I think I like them! I'll be back......

Yep, I like them! It took me a second or two to find the right amount of pressure but they are sharper than when i started, which is a good thing. Good purchase, thanks Steve for the heads up, easier then my file and stone method!

John, what is the trick to the leather finishing????
