Question for the Magnus Stinger 4-Blade guys?
« on: October 31, 2015, 03:21:00 PM »
I started shooting some 2-blade Stingers earlier this year, and I'm really impressed with them. I had been looking for a cheaper head to send into pigs since they have a way of getting lost in the pigs. The Stingers have fit the bill perfectly.

A while back there was a thread about which was better, the 2-blade stinger, or the 4-blade stinger, and the 4-blade seemed to have a lot more votes.

I picked up some 4 blades the other day. I took them apart to sharpen up the main blades. I have never seen a bleeder blade system like that before. Here is my question for you 4-Blade Stinger guys:

Is there a way to sharpen the bleeders, or do you just go with them like they are and then replace them after using them???

Any info will be appreciated!

Nevermind! I am an idiot!!!! The little piece of the ferrule was stuck to the bleeder on the 2 I took apart, and I thought it was all one piece. Got it figured out on the 3rd one.

Well I'll tell you what I used to do anyway. I just held it in my finger tips and stopped the crap out of it. Basically you will be shining up your fingernails at the same time as sharpening the blade. They get real sharp that way!
