RE: Achieving RAZOR sharp boadheads????
I use two blade heads and sharpen them on a honing stone the same way I sharpen my knife. I try to imagine shaving a very thin sliver from the stone and make about 20-30 strokes before turning over and doing it again on the other side. I keep at this until they are sharp enough to shave hair from my arm. Once you have established the edge it's no big deal to touch them up.

For my 2 blade heads,I use the Tru-angle sharpener.It's basically 2 flat mill bastard files set on an angled block at the correct angle.Gets 'em nice and sharp

Don't I feel silly atlasman. My head are Snuffers. I didn't know the full name was Magnus Snuffer. I remembered them asRothhaar Snuffer. I've had these for quite a few years.Have they always been Magnus Rothhaar Snuffer? I saw the file techniqueon the Magnus site and checked out the tool from Cabelas. Thanks. I have used a file and have asimiliar sharpening tool. I just can't get that shaving razor edge. I will have to spend more time and try to improve my technique.
