Ron at KME might do them for you. He does Grizzlys on a regular basis.

i'd be willing to pay a few bucks or trade to get the blades sharp again...

I hate to sound like an old fart, but you're going to find that doing it yourself is the only way over time. It is not hard-sometimes we make it intimidating. If you can sharpen a knife you can sharpen a broadhead too. There are tutorials and videos on this site that are very helpful. And since ya' live in PA you have thousands of would be mentors near by.

PM sent. I will sharpen them for you for the cost of return shipping. Been wanting to see how well Stingers sharpen anyway with my KME.

Stingers are hard to sharpen imho. I tell you what though... and some may disagree...clamp any blade in a Lansky and it's almost fool proof and will end up with a shaving razor edge.

If your Lansky works then the KME knife sharpener will work just as well, maybe even better

Send me 3 of the 6 and i' ll sharpen them on the Alaska Bowhunting supply Grizzly Wheel free and I'll eat postage. Just to give you another option. If you like or send me all 6.

Stainless steel can be intimidating to some people because it's perceived as being harder than carbon steel. It can be but in the case of BHDs not always so. Grizzlies are 54 Rockwell and the stainless blades of both Stingers and Muzzy Phantoms are no where near that hard.

The KME broadhead sharpener is the better choice for the Stingers/Phantoms because they come with a well ground factory bevel so there's no "grinding" to do, just a quick touch up. I can sharpen 3 Stingers in the broadhead sharpener in the time it takes to sharpen 1 in our knife sharpener.

i have some grizzlies, i dont really use them anymore because it isn't practical for deer but, the only way that i have found to sharpen them is with a big 1/2" thick 14" long file. it peels the metal right off, giving that nice sharp edge. I'm not sure if this helps cosidering i have never shot stigers from magnus, but considering grizzlies are relatively hard to sharpen it might be worth a try.

This boy needs a mentor,anyone close to Kittanning Pa. Wish i was closer to you i would show you how.

Ray Hammond · « **Reply #16 on:** July 30, 2010, 09:28:00 PM »

That's right, 3arrows

You can't sharpen broadheads at the beginning of the season and expect them to stay hunting sharp more than a week.

You should find someone there in your area and learn to do it - you'll be a lot happier camper for it.

I never knew what the KME was before now. Just looked it up. I like that system. The kind of sharpeners I DONT like are the ones that peel the metal off parallel with the blade...the little V notched ones. No thanks. I want a true stone ground type sharpener like the Lansky/Gatco or KME sharpeners that sharpen perpendicular to the blade.

find a person in your area that sharpens tools.chisles,gouges or things like that.they can sharpen anything.they are also cheap.hope this helps,steve

Simmons sells a sharpening system for double bevel 2 blade head that is just about idiot proof. I can use it and watch TV. It is one of the best investments I have made. LCH
