Title: Taking stinger from out of the box to scary sharp.

Stingers come sharp right out of the box but what can I do to take them to the next level of sharpness.

I use the kme broadhead sharpener quick and easy. Scary sharp and cuts hair on arm with ease.

Most will benefit from simple stropping. Just about anything will work... leather, cardboard, flat piece of hardwood.

The Stinger has such a good grind it's best not to be too aggressive with the edge. Save that for when it gets really dull.

Charlie nailed. I have used stingers for years for this very reason. a piece of side leather and a little jewelers rouge and you will be good to go.

How do you sharpen the bleeder blades on the 4 blade stingers?
