YES i have used the SEARCH button first. many people say Stos are one of the easiest bh to get razor sharp but did not see a good post of EXACTLY how to sharpen them. i am bh sharping challenged so what is the easiet way to get them shaving sharp?
I use the tru-angle stones then finish with my KME knife sharpner.

KME
Hey Ken! If you go to 3-Rivers website; click on 2 blade glue on broadheads; then click on Stos; they have a sharpening tutorial "Stos how to sharpen" video using a file under the ordering info. Hope this helps! :thumbsup:
thanks man!

Ken, I have been shooting STOS heads a long time. I use a Spyderco sharpener criss crossed ceramic triangles, it works very well. These help maintain the edge angle and it gets them scary sharp.
I have also used a file and a hand held ceramic stick to finish. Not as scary sharp as above but you can still get them scary sharp.
The STOS heads seam to have very good steel they take and hold an edge very well.
KME!!!!
For the sharpening challenged, like me, I think the KME or similar system is better than a file.
KME!! haha
Seriously, doesn't take very long at all and a STOS will be mowing hair off your arm with the system.
Another KME vote. They work so fast and easy with that broadhead. If you have some stones already, you can just buy the sharpener which is not even that expensive.
I use mine with some wide smith diamond stones, and they work great together.
I get them ultra sharp very fast with the "BLOCK" and retouch every now and then with the accusharp tool
I have some 160s I got ready but not using them yet, I filed em then paper wheeled em. The file seemed to have got them scary and would no doubt leave em at that but with a paper wheel polish is even better.

The Bravehearted Archery site has all the info on getting them shaving sharp-good BH choice.
