I can't figure out what I can be doing wrong? I try and try and try to sharpen my 3 blade Snuffer heads using what seem to be the preferred methods and I just can't get them shaving sharp?
They fly so nice from my recurve and I took my first buck with one almost 20 yrs ago so I'd like to use them, but only if I can get them truly sharp.

I use a good file that is recommended for starting the bevel and leveling everything on all sides, then I have tried good Arkansas wet stones, and I've also tried Automotive sandpaper from 200 grit working on up to 800 grit to polish.

The edges look nice and clean and shiny with no skips or file marks when I'm done and the blades "tack" on a fingernail but they simply will not shave hair!! I mean they're sort of sharp but not what I want.
I hear of guys being able to get scary hair popping edges on these things and I'm beginning to think it's some sort of black magic.

Is it a matter of the bevel being to steep that won't give that edge?
I see that 3 Rivers Archery has a "Snuffer" kit that has mounted files and a leather strop that will cut the bevel from 30 deg down to 20 I think?

Is that the trick? (and then I'll have to ask, how in the world do you strop the edges to finish?)

I love that satisfaction of sharpening stuff myself but ufortunately I seem to stink at it.
