Hey guys, I am going to use the 160 grain STOS head this year. It has a 25% edge and I was wondering what sharpeners everyone uses for their STOS or similar two blade heads???

One of the easiest blades to sharpen for me.
Get file and lay it on the ferrule and then raise it just a hair til it's meets the edge, take some medium pressure strokes til you feel the burr on the opposite side and then flip it over and do the same thing, next do the same thing with just the weight of the file on it. Keep rolling the burr back and forth, should only take maybe 3 times each side.
Now put it on a 600 grit stone or sandpaper lay it flat and then tilt it til you see the angle lay flat and do the same thing as above, you then can move to 1200 grit or ceramic sticks and then strop it on leather or cardboard.
The whole process should only take 5 min. per head and should pop hairs when done.
