Hackbow

I use the Rada sharpener on all my two blade heads. It may take a little longer on the Zwickeys due to their being on the harder end of the spectrum but once sharp, touch up is a breeze.

I use knife sharpening techniques for sharpening Zwickey broadheads. I give them a convex edge by strop sharpening them on wet/dry automotive sand paper.

File , stone , Lansky and the kme.  The last takes the most time but gives the best edge. It also takes a bit of learning.
Remember to strop regardless of method.

Rough Run

Rada for me.  Not too much pressure, though.

YosemiteSam

Lansky, followed by light passes on the truck window edge, followed by a strop on jeans leg.  But I've gotten them sharp enough with just a file, too.  Hard to mess up.

I use a Rada wheel sharpener for my deltas and finish on leather or cardboard. I am not good at sharpening things but with this process I can get them shaving sharp.
