First this is NOT a ST bashing thread. I love them and have had no problems with the sharpness out of the box. I know they are working on the blades and using a German company to make sharper blades for the new versions and can't wait until I can order some of them. I have 2 remaining STs and no replacement blades. Instead of waiting on the new ones to come in I need to sharpen these (been through animals and in my block target) for a hog hunt. I was thinking of using the 20 degree angle on them. What angle would you use? 15, 20, 25, or 30?

I use an ACCUSHARP, I don't know what angle that is, but it does good.

From their website

"The key to sharpening anything with any sharpener is to hold the same angle, about 22 or 25 degrees"

I use the Accusharp as well. Found it in a mom/pop hardware store for $11.00

I think the bevel angle = 21 or 22 degrees.

Anyways....these babies are DEADLY SHARP = BIG HOLE

I use 25 on my lansky and it does a great job. I think jerrynj has a video in the bowhunting section on this subject. you might want to check it out.

I also use the 25 deg with the lansky. The 20 deg would require you to take off a lot of material. They might be a little sharper but they also would dull faster. The 25 deg gets them scary sharp...

I know that this is going to expensive but DMT diamond sharpener from Cabela's works extremely well on 2, 3 and 4 blade broadheads.
