i prefer the diamond as only water (or spit) is needed for lubrication instead of oil.  also, the diamonds cut FAST!

No the link doesnt work but the diamonds get knives as sharp as with a ceramic or arkansas?

I like them both. For most broadheads the broadhead sharpener with work a little faster because you are using a wider stone but it also depends on the broadhead. The knife sharpener angle can be changed so sometimes that helps. Gary

Ill probably get the knife sharpener so i can sharpen both knives and broadheads. As soon as i figure out weather to get the diamond sharpener or the stone sharpener.

I picked one up at Denton Hill last year. It does a great job on broadheads.

Greatest invention since the spoon. I opted for both sets of stones when I ordered my knife sharpener. It isn't that much more to get both at one time.

I also got one at Denton Hill. I like it a lot for knives and broadheads. I got diamond stones and one fine arkansas to finish with.

Diamonds will get you from very dull to very sharp much faster.  You cannot get the fine honed and polished edge with diamonds alone.  IF a customer has trouble sharpening or it is new to them I always recommend diamonds.  Give us a call if you need help deciding.  Be glad to discuss it with you.

So can you get diamond and a fine arkansas stone for finishing the edge?

In the video link below, there is a guy sharpening a Silverflame broadhead with the KME Knife Sharpener.
