Well, it was raining here this morning, so I finally got around to doing a little video on how I sharpen these Simmons heads. This will work on any 2 blade head that is double beveled. Hopefully, between this and the picture tutorial, it will be as clear as mud. Here's a link back to the picture tutorial. If y'all have any more questions, post them up and I'll do my best to answer them.

Good job Chris! I would have to have a piece of leather over my leg or I would likely slip and cut myself.

nice legs

all jokes aside--chris can sharpen a simmons head--or any head for that matter-like none other. he showed me how to do this during the summer and it will definately do a great job. although, "easier said than done" applies here.

chris, if you get a chance post a video doing it on the bench grinder.

Not yet, but the only place I can hunt is flooded out. Don't know when I'll be able to get back in there.

I've never actually worn one completely out where it will no longer work. The one I'm using here has a LOT of wear on it, but it still gets the job done. You'll definitely get your money's worth out of it.

Pretty much. You might have to play with it a little bit to see what works best.

Hey Chris....
As always a great job!
If it is still raining there?
Why don't you show us how you have sharpened
other heads that you may have used in the past?
Do you have a special way to sharpen a Woodsman?

Bubba, Simmons are all I have used since 1990. I have sharpened some Magnus heads, and Zephyr Sasquatch, but haven't hunted with them. The good thing about this is, it doesn't matter what 2 blade(double bevel) you choose to shoot, they all sharpen EXACTLY the same way.

I've never been able to get a 3 blade sharp enough for my liking. I can get them to cut a few hairs, but nothing like a 2 blade.

Here's a little diagram to show what's happening. It's kinda small, but hopefully you can read it.
