Thanks to everyone for the great posts!

Last night Ron from KME called at 7:00 pm (that's a Friday night guys) and walked me thru the sharpening process on the phone. What great customer service! I can now get the stingers to my satisfaction and knives are a snap. I have never been able to put an edge on anything before.

I took a very thin piece of wood and glued leather to it, this works great in the KME knife sharpened for the final edge.

JimB and Steve, thanks for you input on this. Steve I agree with what you had to say. For many years I have used stingers out of the package and they are deadly, maybe the scary sharp edge is a confidence thing. Really not sure, but that issue aside it sure is nice to be able to put an edge on heads and knives

Very good and informational info. Steve, you hit it head on...nothing replaced good arrow placement...nothing. Having confidence in your abilities sure helps.  JimB...thanks for sharig your method...I have placed my order for the Dia-sharp items and look forward to producing sharp blades using my KME system. I'm going for Elk this fall and want as sharp  a blade as I can get.
