Where is the best place to order a sharpening stone? Also what stone would you recommend for sharpening Woodsman Elites? Thanks in advance.

KME sells a some very high quality arkansas bench stones. I like a medium and fine. Personally I don't like diamond stones as they leave a toothy edge that doesn't get as sharp as with smooth stones.

Talk with Ron at KME.  IMHO the most important stone to own is a course for establishing the edge.  Heck I have one that if you only used it you'd hunt with a very sharp broadhead.

I only use a large Nicholson file on mine now. I sharpen then turn it around and hone. They shave with ease.
