I need to replace my Arkansas stones and want to go with diamond ones. I found a set called “ultra sharp 3 pack” from best sharpening stones out of Texas. Any reviews of these or opinions? Will be using them combined with a kme Broadhead Sharpener.

At present I am using a DMT DuoSharp with 600 micron on one side and 375 micron on the other side. I have the plastic stand to hold the sharpener. I like it.

I bought a pair of 11" diamond stones from Cabelas years ago for sharpening snuffer broadheads. A medium and a fine. They will last long beyond me and make sharpening broadheads each year a snap. In fact, for a time, I was selling pre-sharpened snuffers just for the fun of it. Guessing I made about $10 an hour. Definitely not worth it from a time standpoint but I enjoyed doing it while I watched pre-season football. Speaking of which, sharpening my own is going to suck this year without football to watch while I'm doing it. :)
A medium and a fine will do you great but the longer stones are much better to work with and worth a little extra in my opinion.

Can’t go wrong with diamond stones. Water is a lot less messy than oil also.

I bought a diamond stone for my Gatco sharpener but I still prefer the fine stone.

I also have one of those big Cabelas diamond stones. I like sharpening stuff.

11" DMT Duosharp. Great stone, I think mine is 600 one side 1200 the other. If I need to use anything coarser to form an edge etc I use a Ken Onion Work Sharp and finish it with the Duosharp. With the 1200 I really don't strop anything anymore. If 1200 isn't fine enough I don't need it sharper.
I saw a Walmart online ad searching on duckduck once and they said they had a Duosharp Plus in an Adult Uni-sex size.... Not a clue what they might sharpen with it.....

DMT fine diamond is all you will ever need. Diamonds will never dish out like stones will.

Teaching my 14 year old to put an edge on when we came in for lunch.
