Filled a couple of antlerless tags and found myself in need of replacement blades for 100 grain muzzy heads. Didn't have time to run anywhere to get them, so I decided to run my used blades across a stone and see if I could get them acceptably sharp. I sorted through a bunch of used blades to eliminate those with cuts, nicks or noticeable gouges in the blade. Didn't know if this would work well enough or not, but to my surprise, after a few quick strokes on each side, I believe they're now sharper than when they came new in the package. Has me wondering if maybe a person shouldn't run even new blades across a stone before taking them to the field. Anyone else tried this?
