Sharpening single bevels

[RedShaft]

 Getting my first set of single bevels. Using the cutthroats by RMSG.
What stones are you guys using for these heads? After practicing with them what's your process of going from setting it to polish?
Using KME.
Or if there was any good threads prior give me the topic to search it out. Really looking forward to these heads! Thanks

I use a guide called the Stay Sharp. Putting sandpaper on a flat surface working from coarse to fine ending with 3000 grit for an ultra sharp head. Works just as good on double bevel.

Clay Hayes has a good sharpening tutorial for single bevel broadheads on his YouTube page.  I've followed that with great success.  However I tried sharpening some RW single bevel heads yesterday and that was a little challenging for me.  Being right handed I find sharpening LW heads easier.  Regardless, does anyone get the tip sharp as well?  Or does that chisel point stay on there?  I tried passing a Broadhead through some leather I had laying around and couldn't get it to go without some serious pressure.  The three blade heads I have sharpened up passed through much simpler.  I'm just wondering if that's normal is all.

You will love the Cutthroats. They come sharper than some other BH are after working on them for an hour. With the KME it doesn't take much and they are hair popping sharp. You just slightly adjust the outer edge of your bevel with the stone. (Medium/fine) I lay the backside almost flat to knock the burr off.  I finish mine off with cardboard and or leather and they are scary sharp. Yes I do sharpen the chisel tip too.

If you have the KME then you are all set.  I do mine with wet or dry paper and a thick piece of glass.  Coating the edge with a marker will tell you where you are at and what needs to come off.  Then you can go into the fine stuff.  I take Grizzlies to 800 grit.  You can go even finer if you like.

Diamond stone in a circular motion. No pressure. Let the stone do the work. Once you achieve a bur on the backside of the bevel, flip the head and a few swipes to take off the bur.
Finish with a finer grit or leather if desired.
Easy.
