Ron,I recently got a DMT Diasharp hone,3"X8",XX coarse,120 mesh and use it with the KME broadhead sharpener.It rips.It establishes that bevel pretty fast,then I go to 220 grit sandpaper and work on through to 2000 grit.
After doing the first one,I decided to back off on the 120 mesh diamond hone just before I got a burr.By the time I got the 120 scratches out of the first one and finished it,I lost 14 grs.The second one,I stopped with the 120 short of getting a burr and by the time I got the 120 scratches out,the burr was there.The second Grizzly only lost 3 grs.
I get a much more consistent edge by using the hone rather than a file.I just am not consistent enough with the file and that cause to much time evening things up when I switch to the KME.Once the 120 diamond hone gets that bevel,each successive grit only takes a few strokes and it goes very fast.
The finished edge is dead flat and true,the full length, and you can see your reflection in it.To resharpen one that has been shot,should take a bare minimum of work as the KME broadhead sharpener should put it right back on the stone exactly at the right angle.
