Varies depending on the style of broadhead, 2 blade, 3 blade, 4 blade? There are some good videos on YouTube.

I'd buy a Strop if I was you, unless the blades are really trashed, you can touch then up with a Strop and some jeweler's rouge, look for Herb's Yellow Cake I think it's called. If you start seeing build up on the Strop, use some sand paper to knock it off. Watch videos on sharpening the three blade, different ways to do it and I've mastered none of them! If to rage blades are very bad, I'd just replace those!

I use a file for two and three blade heads, if I need to clean up chips or rolls on the edge. Then go to finer grits of sandpaper or stones, Then finish on a strop

Innovative outdoorsman llc sells some pretty neat sharpening gadgets. I got the one to sharpen iron will heads and it works great.

I sharpen my broadheads by replacing the blades. Lol Replacement blades are about the cheapest part of my hunt.

best thing I have found for fixed 3 blades is a 3 sided jewel stick. I work back to front starting with coarse for lets say 30 strokes as you rotate the head every stroke, so it ends up 10 strokes per flat. then medium for 30 then fine for 30. usually pops rubber bands very easily at this point providing the edge wasn't banged up to start with.

2 blades, kme knife sharpener works well

KME sharpener. use the jig for 2 blade and 3 blade heads you can just do on the stones.

Dang, that sucks. Did you call the company and tell them? Maybe they'll send you some new ones.

The rage blades would use the Innovative Outdoorsman "Stay Sharp" guide for replaceable blades. There are a lot of videos showing the Stay sharp guide sharpening all manner of blades/heads including the new Sevr heads.
