+1 on the KME and leather strop.  I use the knife sharpener version but understand that the BH version works well too.  Incredibly easy to turn an already-sharp BH into a finished, shaving-sharp BH.  Takes only a few minutes and I can honestly say I've never had BH's any sharper.

I second that John...easy and sharp! I can't wait to get the opportunity to introduce them to an elk this year!
