Sharpening/Replacing Blades - Stinger 4-blade -

Alaskan Assassin · 08-02-2010, 05:23 PM

I see that the main blade on Stingers is replaceable. I don't see anything about replacing the bleeder. What are folks doing if there is a damaged blade? I know Magnus has the warranty, but don't really have a feel for how it is applied. I'm thinking about the implications if a blade is damaged either during hunting or practice.

I sharpen the smooth edge stingers the same way, just skip the serration part. Bleeders can be sharpened the same way just at a steeper angle since they are closer to the jig. On remote hunts in AK I carry replacement blades in a wallet photo sleeve that I keep in my pack.

I know you can buy bleeders its just that most stores don't carry them, you can get them online from a lot of places.

Awesome feedback, thanks. I like the idea of being able to replace and/or to sharpen. I'm about to try some of these, just doing a bit of advance research.

Woody,

Do you recommend sharpening buzzcuts and stingers that are new out of the package?
