And thinking about trying a few just because they look so mean.  With that concave edge how are you boys sharpening them? Thanks

There's a video done by someone on here on the rada sharpener. Looks like it's easy to do and rada is cheap!

Rada works but I bought the Centaur wheel polishing system for a bench grinder. Crazy sharp and polished blades. Take minutes to achieve a perfect edge and it works awesome on everything from axes to fillet knives!

Tim,

Personally, I want a method of sharpening I can do when "on the go".   I don't know If I want to be carrying around my bench grinder.  I have spent 100's of $$ on sharpening methods, KME, yes, with the Simmons stuff, razors edge, etc, and this is without a doubt the easiest, and most efficient way i've found.  Nothing else comes anywhere close.  

Here is the video Nick is referring to:

Thank you guys.  I'm a little slow- I shoulda dun a search first!
Appreciate the quick responses

DanielB89

Just lucky timing.  Let me know if you have any questions.  PDK25 may be better to contact than me, he is the one who taught me this method.  It is mind blowing when it all "clicks".

The rada sharpener is pretty effective. I recently saw the video too and ordered one then tried on my kitchen knife for like 12 drags then accidentally bled my fingers with just my usual way of handling knives. Was pleasantly surprised how sharp it can get blades to be. Will sharpen my Simmons this weekend with it too.

Rada hands down. You'll look at it and think it is too simple...too easy. Well let me tell you, they will take hair off your arm after just a few pulls through.

Saw the video. Put it into practice myself. Now if I could just get a deer to walk in front, I'd really have a testimony to tell.

This is why I enjoy this site so!

Great tip, suggestion and illustration on just another way for us sharpening challenged. I like the mobility of the Rada as well.

Thanks,
Never wait too long!

I have 2 of the razors edge systems with minimal use on them.  

I'll gladly sell them for cheap to anyone interested.  I just know I prefer the Rada.

Thanks again boys
Y'all buying directly from simmons?

DanielB89

Tim,

I buy mine off of e-b-a-y.  I got 2 delivered to my door for under $10.

Ha ok - I'll look but it seems too good to be true since 3 cost 38 bucks on the simmons website
Thanks

DanielB89

ok, I lied.  I paid $8.18 for 2 Rada's and $2 for shipping.  

So I paid $10.18 for 2 shipped to my door.

I just ordered the 175 Tigershark from Simmons and look forward to trying them. My only concern is not getting them in time for the opener here in Mississippi. The Simmons site says they are out hunting until the 25th.

TIM B

Sorry Daniel - I was talking about where ya getting the broadheads from - not the radas

Missispy dude - also says during huntin season there is no garontee they will be open at all haha. Gotta love that!

Anyone else sell them or just simmons?
