Cutthroat Three Blade

[Sheltowee]

Picked up a set of Cutthroat three blades today at RMS Gear to tinker around with. Also grabbed a ceramic stick sharpener to touch up the edges. Anyone have any experience with these heads?

Tips, tricks and suggestions (especially preferred sharpening method) would be much appreciated.

Used them on a recurve I had, worked good. I believe you can lay them flat on a stone and sharpen that way as well.

No experience here, but their design seems superior to any other that I’ve seen.

A three blade can be sharpened by laying it flat on a stone/hone, but the angle won’t be ideal. Sharpening at a narrower angle should technically be better, but doing it properly is much more difficult. I would think that the simple method of laying it flat would be good enough.
