A one-piece four-blade machined broadhead and sharpener for sharpening the blades of a four-blade broadhead is described. A broadhead may be machined as a single component from, for example, bar stock material. A broadhead of the present disclosure may be machined on a multi-spindle machine such as but not limited to a Swiss or Swiss-style screw machine. A broadhead may be machined in a reverse configuration such that an attachment end for attaching the broadhead to an arrow is positioned at or near an open end of the bar stock material. One or more steps of the broadhead machining or manufacturing process may be automated, for example by the use of one or more robotic gripping arms. Furthermore, a sharpener of the present disclosure may have sharpening stones positioned at angles such that a two blades of a four-blade broadhead may be simultaneously sharpened.
