Lansky sharpener ?????

[EASTERNARCHER]

Anybody know which slot is the correct angle to sharpen broadheads with this thing? Namely MAgnus Stingers???  :confused:  

17-20-25-30?

Someone should chime in with tech specs, but you should be able to see which slot sits the stone best on the blade bevel

[Tom Leemans]

I'd see what sits best on the edge but just remember, the lower the angle, the more scary sharp it can get, but the less durable the edge.

The 17 degree is for razor blades, x-acto knives and similiar type blades, the 20 is for higher grade knives (kitchen knives). the 25 for most hunting knives or thats what the directions in my kit says

I use 25 on my knives and on my bh's, works great hasnt failed me yet.   Have gone and tried the 20 and 17 and like was said before the shallower the angle the less durable the edge.

I have a lansky sharpener that i like for my knives but if you get yourself an AccuSharp sharpener you can get them Stingers scary sharp in about 4 passes. This is the sharpener that Magnus recommends and you can get them off there site for $10.00 plus shipping. You will find yourself using it on about every thing in the house wants you get it.   Glenn

For what its worth

I use the middle, I think 20 for my Zwickies.  I can shave with them and they seem to hold a good edge.

Thanks Guys

I use 20 for my Zwickies also.  I tried 25, but seem to like the 20 slot better.  Sure is scary sharp! My finger can attest to that...be careful when you handle them.

I always worried about the 20s hitting bone.  Like a moose rib bone and rolling the edge over.   It would defeat the purpose then of having that fine of a scalple edge.

The problem with the accusharp or other similar style sharpeners is they take to much metal off in the one laminated areas and not enough where it goes to the double laminate areas.  Like on the eskimos up near the tip.   It just cuts to easy, you end up with a shoulder there over time that is extremely difficult to get out on the stone.

Forgot to add, I like using the diamond extra course for changing the angle on the head, it makes fairly quick work, then run throught he stones, course, medium and extra fine really polishing them up with the extra fine and they'll be as sharp as you could ever ask.
