Is there such a thing as a conical honing stone that i can use to sharpen it, a simple grind wheel would make a mess of it I would think?

Lifetime warranty, exchange it at a B&M that sells them or send it back for a new one Shawn.

Oh I have the 009 Xikar punch and it works great IMO.

I think my issue is it wasn't sharp enough out of the gate, I find I have to push way to hard even with twisting to get it to cut. I have actually peeled the wrapper off of an El Principe from pushing too hard.

This is the dremmel bit to look for. Tapered from 5-9 mm
