I wouldn't spend the money on the diamond stones and I think Ron will tell you the same.

Thanks very much guys!
Bowmaster, Mitch nailed it...Don't waste your $$$ on the diamond kit!!! Diamond stones are way overkill for your Phantoms. Just the standard ceramic/Arkansas stones are all you need to get them tuned. (plus a piece of cardboard for the final stropping). Now here's the most important tip I can give you: Phantoms have deeply vented blades which means the blades will flex very very easily when sharpening. The sharpener works great with them but you have to be careful to use very light pressure (almost none) when sharpening Phantoms. You'd be amazed at exactly how little downward pressure it takes to flex the blades and if they're flexing while you're sharpening, then you won't be able to maintain a consistant angle and that's pretty critical to sharpening anything. Use a very light touch and let the stones do the work...They will! Thanks,
Ron

wow great tip Ron, never thought about those light blade flexing. I don't use them but sharpen them for others sometimes, thanks

You're still "Doin' it right", Ron - glad to see it - more interested in your customers/users satisfaction and learning curve, than just making a fast buck. Best to ya, brother, (and may you make a buck or two while you're at it - LOL).
