Landsharks?
I just bought some Simmons Landshark 160s because I wanted the added weight upfront and the 1-9/16" cut. I like them so far but need to get one bloody soon.
Anyone got experience with sharpening these things? The Accusharp followed by a round steel sharpener seems to do pretty good all the way down the blade...just looking for ideas from others with more experience with these b-heads. BTW, I plan to shoot them as 2-blade without the bleeders. |
Joey, I hope they give you what you want out of them. I've personally found a simple Arkansas stone to serve all my sharpening needs. No experience with the sharks though.
How do they fly? If you can get them to fly right and a responsible edge, I wouldn't even think twice when it comes time for the shot. ;) |

Because of the concave shape at the rear of the blade, I've had better luck with a round steel or ceramic stick type sharpeners than with a flat stone.
But I also prefer a good stone usually. |
See, there I go mixing it up with the steelforce again. :D
Yeah, you're right. The concave can be a problem. The Z delta has it, but not as extreme so its still workable on the stone. The file method would probably be your best bet. Just make sure you pull the file down the blade and not across the blade. ;) You don't push a file across the blade to get the best edge. You pull the file down to the point with the edge of the blade between the (the word escapes me)... Uh, crud, not the top of the teeth, but between the teeth. Shoot, Joey, drive over here and I'll show you what I'm talking about. A fine Mill Bastard file works best. ;) |
that is a bad looking head. should leave a nice hole.
