Broadhead sharpeners?

Ok, I was looking through a Cabela's cataloge yesterday, and thinking of a good Christmas gift. Well I saw they have several broadhead sharpners which I though would be a great gift. But I want to know, do any of you have one and does it work? And yand I shoot 125 grain Thunderheads, though I may be shanging to 100 grain next season, and if any blades get a little dull, we put new ones on, such as from a miss and hitting dirt and going through a deer. I thought it would be a good gift for Andy, would save on having to buy new blades. I want to hear any opinions though, don't want to spend money on something that doesn't work. Any sharpeners you suggest?

Re: Broadhead sharpeners?

Most new blades are pretty sharp and ready for hunting. You can get a neat broadhead sharpener that has a broadhead wrench on the opposite end for a couple dollars. When I put my hunting blades in, I just run the sharpener over each blade 5 times. Then if the blade cuts through stretched rubberbands, you're good to go.

If you miss, I would just buy new blades. But just to sharpen the edge every now and then, the sharpener/wrench combo is a really good one.

Here's a link to a few different types of sharpeners.

Broad-Head Sharpeners

I shoot Montec G5's now, so I use the Montec sharpener for not only my broadheads, but for all my knives too. Great sharpener.

When I used to shoot replaceable blade broadheads, I would use 400 and 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper to get the edge back on the blades. I hated buying new blades if I didn't have to. I also would take the blades out of the broadhead and insert them into an X-acto knife handle for easy handling while touching them up on the sand-paper.
