Broadhead sharpness

[Ferg]

How do ya'll check your broadheads to make sure they are extra sharp for hunting?

[TheWidowMaker]

tuning in, I'm interested in a more precise practice

If they easily shave hair of my forearm and grab a fingernail, they’re sharp to my standards.

I like them more of a rough sharp.

Slice easily through paper.

This or stretch a rubber band a bit tween finger and thumb then stroke head across it.

Paper slicing is a good test.

My forearm hair serves as a testing grounds for broadhead sharpness. Once that resource is exhausted, I usually move to my shins.

Paper slice like butter. If it hangs or tears, needs more work.

[Ferg]

what kind of paper do ya'll use?

[DRT]

Just printer or notebook paper.

Any fairly thin paper. If you really want to be SHARP, use newspaper or receipt paper. If it slices that clean, it is wicked sharp.

Shaving sharp for me

[LeanMachine]

I shave on my upper thigh to test knives and broadheads. I'm looking for effortlessly shaving. Not scraping and managing to cut hair. Create a burr and then strop/buff it off. Test. Strop/buff more if not good enough.
