I have been using Striker G5 3 blade 100 grain broad heads for several years now and see no reason to switch. I have a drawer full of broad head sharpeners that do not seem to put that scary sharp edge on the blades. The replacement blades have went up in price and are actually harder to find that they used to be.
I am going to post an advertisement for a light weight field carry type of sharpener and wonder if anyone out there has used this particular device or has had success with a different approach. I am mostly concerned about the previous years intact broad heads that have NOT been shot at a deer or Target or damaged in any way, except perhaps oxidation and just exposed to the air since last year. They are still SHARP, however perhaps not as sharp as they were out of the box. I have learned if you do not have the precise angle to sharpen or tough up your blades, you will end up making them worse that if you had left well enough alone.
If anyone has a better solution or pros or cons on this device, I would like to hear from you.
Thanks,
Dan

Broadhead Pro (Double-Bevel) Description |

So easy a cave man could use it!
Dependability, functionality and ease of use. When bowhunters can’t compromise, they choose the Broadhead Pro.
The Broadhead Pro is undoubtedly the best and easiest to use broadhead sharpener because it not only sharpens straight edged broadheads but also concave, convex, multi-bladed, serrated…and it’s the best knife sharpener you can own. TruAngle files, Lanski's, Spiderco's, Archers Edge, ceramic sticks, etc..... you name it. They all work, but are limited in what type of head they can sharpen, are heavy (the Broadhead Pro only weighs 1 oz.), bulky, require set-up and are often hard to use.
The Broadhead Pro is designed to take the guesswork out of sharpening and ensure the same sharp edge every time.
Simply place the Broadhead Pro flat side down on any firm surface and draw the broadhead through it. Because the microcarbon carbide sharpening blades (92.6 grade) are harder than any broadhead steel, they will literally "shave" steel off the broadhead until a perfect 20-degree shoulder is formed.
The broadhead ferrule doesn’t get in the way, like it does with flat files, so you’ll always maintain that perfect angle, whether sharpening for the first time or putting an edge back on.
Broadhead Pro will never destroy your broadheads temper, unlike heat-generating, grinding-wheel type sharpeners.
Like your broadhead blades honed and polished to a “scary” edge?
The Broadhead Pro features a hardened ceramic honing surface chemically bonded to its anodized aluminum handle (C65 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale).
Use it like a whetstone - - it won’t wear off. The rounded edges of the body will sharpen serrated blades. And check out the bottom edge - there’s a V-groove for sharpening fishing hooks.
The Broadhead Pro comes with a Lifetime Warranty and a spare set of sharpening blades. Simply unbolt and reverse the blades. Replacement blades are also available making it a lifetime tool.
Sharpening Tips:
• Use only light downward pressure, excessive force can cause chattering and chip cutter blades.
• Pull towards yourself when sharpening. Never push away.
• If a broadhead resists being sharpened, use more strokes, not more pressure.
