Another Tuffhead sharpening post

I recieved my TH in 225 almost 2 weeks ago. I have to say Im sold. These heads are great. Out of the box sharp, as advertised.

After a few shot into, and sometimes through, my block target I decided to touch them up. The Lansky sharpener I have doesnt line up properly when I use the 25 degree and 30 degree slot.

Ive been looking at the KME but Id prefer to buy more heads than another sharpener. I took the not so dulled head on one of my stones and had it back to hair popping in about 10 minutes.

The other head went on the file (arrow went through block target and hit chain link fence) and then on the stone. Took about 30 minutes and its shaving hair.

I really like the looks of the KME though with a bit of patience I was able to save the money for more heads!

I always pick one head from a pack and try it on the arrows I intend to hunt with, but keep the others new. I too often clean through a block target with Tuffies and into a dirt pile behind. Even after a few shots like that, the Tuffheads I’ve shot still feel hunting sharp, but I touch ’em up on my KME knife sharpener with the finest stone then strop on cardboard. I just received a 3-pack of 300s that KME custom sharpened and they will not get shot except at game. I always rub a bit of mineral oil on the heads before inserting into bow quiver hood, or put a few drops of oil right into each hole in the foam.

One of the nice things about the KME is that you can adjust the angle visually, by eyeballing the alignment of stone to bevel and locking it down there, ignoring the scale which is only a reference on most sharpeners.

And here I was feeling that I just dont need another sharpener!

I’m guessing the KME makes keeping the tip hunt ready a breeze as well.

After honing the heads up I put two away. But they are so damn nice looking I want a whole dozen Arrows tipped with them!
