Title: sharpening 2 blade heads?
Post by: jrchambers on March 13, 2006, 02:58:00 PM

i jsut purchases stos 145 two blade heads. i sharpened them with a filet kife diamond steel and a ceramic rod.  the edges  came out shaving all the way to the tip but the tip is not that pointy it starts to round a little to resemble a tanto tip they are still shaving sharp all the way around.  i was wondering if the point becoming a steeper angle would hurt penitration or it would help with strenght, or neither?

if anything it will strengthen the head-i knock the tip back a little on my stos- do a search on "STOS" on powwow and you will see about everyone that uses them takes the tip down........

Try a Lansky knife sharpener with diamond hones. The knife holder will hold the broadheads and try for a 22 degree cut on the broadheads.

It comes in hand for sharpening knifes too!
