I use Magnus or Zwickey cut on contact heads and sharpen them freehand. Use a file to do the rough work, then I go to a diamond hone, then to a hard Arkansas stone. I've got a paddle made from a 1X4 that I glued leather onto (flesh side up), put some jeweler's rouge on the leather and use that to strop them for the good polished edge I like.

Crazy idea(no, no, no, no, I haven't done this, but wondered what it would do):
How about taking a dremel and the real fine cotton buffing wheel/dremel tip thing that comes with it and use it on a broadhead to finely hone the blade. (But I would imagine at 12000 rpm's, the friction would cause a broadhead tip to get red hot in seconds).
Call me crazy, but I was wondering how this would work to finely hone a blade?
