Magnus Stinger

Anyone have links to recommended methods for sharpening 2 blade Magnus Stingers? Or just a opinion on how well they sharpen?

Michael Arnette · April 18, 2017, 06:18:00 PM

I would recommend using a wheel sharpener, those things are super easy to sharpen and get very sharp!

I shoot magnus buzzcuts with the serrated edge. Do you guys prefer the serrated or the non serrated blade?

prefer non serrated to sharpen will hunt with either.If you can sharpen a knife on a wet stone then you can sharpen Stingers(non serrated), just strop on a piece of leather or cardboard after touching up on stone..

I use a KME knife sharpener set on 19*. I emailed Magnus for the angle of their bevel, and it happened to be the same as that on my German Kinetic heads, so I did not even have to change my sharpener.

Send your old ones back to the factory n they will send you brand new ones

Exactly

I use the regular ones (non buzzcut) and I carry a small folding diamond sharpener. Really for my knife, but this thing gets Stingers razor sharp...and I mean razor sharp. Just a few strokes and its done.

Otherwise, yeah, you can get new blades free.

The Accu-Sharp...sometimes called the all sharp is what Magnus used to recommend for stingers. I have one for mine and 15-20 light strokes brings them back to shaving sharp

See I don't get this! The warranty is for damaged heads not a lifetime of sharpening service. Besides I shoot EVERY broadhead atleast once to make sure it shoots straight. They are so simple to sharpen with a accu sharp, KME, Lansky etc. I'm odd fashioned but one of the things bowhunters need to learn is how to sharpen pointed sticks!
I've exclusively used Magnus Stingers for umpteen years now and not had a single failure. With some serious abuse of hitting shoulder blades, pass through's going into trees, rocks, roots, buried in the ground etc. The worst I've seen is little chips out of the edge through all of this.
OH well sorry for the rant, go on!

Depending on the weight the ferrule is different sized. I have 6 each of 100, 125 and 150 and most pull through sharpeners won't work for the 150 and more than half won't work for the 125, including the accusharp. I use this:

Works for all sizes. 20-30 strokes per edge then 6-10 per touch up before hunting. They are good broadheads and fly just like field points. I broke a blade once, but it was when I was tuning and a field point hit the back of the blade. Magnus sent me a replacement in a few days.

accusharp works for me. i pull it from front to back. the abs sharpener works as well.

I'm with you here

Those diamond sharpeners are the ticket to sharpen and I have a diamond butchers steel that is step two finished by stropping.

Meflyfisherman · April 20, 2017, 03:19:00 PM

Worked on serrated blades as well but had to be careful.

NIGEL01 · April 21, 2017, 02:09:00 AM

All I shoot. Lansky for me. They're the perfect Razorhead, I guess I shoot those too.

tmcnamara7 · April 21, 2017, 04:58:00 PM

I also use the KME knife sharpener on 4 blade stinger but I take the blade off the ferrule. I can then sharpen both the main blade and the bleeder blade. I can get these blades shaving sharp.

gvdocholiday · April 23, 2017, 09:00:00 PM

It's a standard 2-blade broadhead...

I don't have enough time to explain the rocket science behind it...but two carbide blocks held at 20degree angles, pull it from heel to tip lightly 15-20 times and you'll be shaving hair.
