missing hair on my forearms???

Hi everyone, new guy here.

I was wondering if anyone else is suffering from this condition? Seems every year when I start touching up my broadheads, it sets in. This year is especially bad, because I’m trying out a new head, and just got done sharpening a dozen Grizzlies. I may have to start on my legs if I end up sharpening any more.

Elk season is getting close…..

Yup me to. Finally figured out how to get them woodsmans scary sharp. August 25th can’t come soon enough!

If you’re already cutting hairs… why would you not be satisified with that? 🙄

The rubber band test too is a good one too!

BTW.. I don’t need to shave my forearms to test them… ol butter fingers here cuts himself up pretty good without even trying! 😆

Seriously, been doing it long enough, all I have to do is look at them, I am confisdent they are sharp enough.

That’s mighty impressive. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “if looks could kill”.

I know what you mean, Steve, about butterfingers…lol…No matter what I’m doing, if I have a sharp object (knife, broadhead, screwdriver, pointed stick…), I will, and I mean I WILL draw blood. I too can tell if they’re sharp enough by looking at them, but there’s just something satisfying about checking to see if they’re sharp enough to shave with. I have yet to try shaving my face, though. Just not that brave…YET…or maybe it’s stupid??

Missing hair on my forearms? YES…

I wonder how many folk use a leather strop when they sharpen their knives and broadheads. It is the stropping thst gets rid of the burrs.

I do. I have about a 3″ wide piece of belt leather about 3 feet long that I use.

I use the strop too. It really seems to keen up that razor edge.

I strop with jeweler’s rouge (the white one) on paper. The paper rests on a piece of polished stone to keep it perfectly smoth and flat. This gives you a mirror polish.

Just a plain butchers steel for woodsmans. A ceramic rod for all else.

after 2 weeks trying to sharpen those darn Grizzlies and just a few hair off my fore arm, and I mean 2 or 3 hair, I opted for the Abowyer brown bear “shavin’ sharp out of the box” broadheads and there you have it and so it goes. But I do look like my arms and legs got a wax job after I finished sharpen my Eclipses or Eskimos:lol:
