Author Topic: Arrow penetration.... the real secret. straitera Trad Bowhunter Member # 13875 posted                     Looks great Charlie. Do you get the same scary sharp on single bevels? How? Planning to grind all my heads to single bevel asap. -------------------- Buddy Bell Trad is 60% mental & about 40% mental. Posts: 4460 | From: Texas | Registered: Oct 2007  |  IP: Logged |  Jake SPONSOR Member # 105 posted                     The KME is the best sharpening system made. I use my knife jig/kit for both Broadheads and all my knives. I know for a fact that they will be available at Comptons. You can get a firsthand look at them and see for yourself what all the talk is about. Ron sure has a winner. -------------------- www.kmesharp.com www.tristatetraditional.com Posts: 2404 | From: IN | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  IB Contributor 2010 Member # 7360 posted                 OK....So what your saying is #1...I can drop my bow weight from 75# to say 65# if I use a KME Broad Head sharpening system If I use a KME, then what will I need you here for? #2..I won't need to be so friendlily with these Knife maker men....I'll be able to be more independent and self reliant...That I WON"T have to take Jeff; Rob or Doug with me on all my huntin trips. I can really sharpen my own Knives. OH MY.....That would just about pay for the KME....Just in Doug's eats. KME is undoubtedly with out question the BEST; EASIEST and most FOOL PROOF sharpener I have EVER USED......PERIOD........Sage advice and wisdom again Charlie.......Why don't I listen to you sooner and more often Posts: 2981 | From: Somewhere over the Rainbow | Registered: Sep 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Russ Clagett Trad Bowhunter Member # 7794 posted                     thanks for pointing that out guys....I'm gonna check it out right now..... Posts: 464 | From: Pflugerville, Texas | Registered: Nov 2005  |  IP: Logged |  BradLantz Trad Bowhunter Member # 7277 posted                     I currently have 160 gr old stock Thunderheads - 3 bladed, and I have the KME broadhead tool to resharpen those blades. Love it so far Posts: 843 | From: Arkansas | Registered: Sep 2005  |  IP: Logged |  SBT Member Member # 15106 posted                     Thanks for the tips gentlemen, hows the KME do on single bevel heads like a grizzly? Posts: 26 | From: MT | Registered: Jan 2008  |  IP: Logged |  Charlie Lamb Charter Member/SPONSOR Member # 8 posted                     Straitera.... you bet it will do a single bevel. I'd work the bevel with either the knife or broadhead system down to a nice edge and finish with a couple of strokes on the flat side with a very fine stone or diamond hone. Stinger... there is a world of difference between the KME and the Lansky. With the right touch you could sure get the Lansky to work, but my experience leads me to believe you can get a better edge in a shorter amount of time with the KME. Ron has built features into his system that allow each stroke to be exactly like the one before it. You can also find just the right angle for the particular blade you are sharpening. Both features make for a very quick, durable and deadly edge. Anyone is "trainable" heck, give Ron a call and he'll help you make the Lansky work.... yeah, he's that kind of guy. Like Fatman said above, one of the greatest aids in the whole system is having access to Ron himself via phone. He knows his stuff about sharpening and shares what he knows willingly... regardless of how you chose to sharpen your blades.

I'm going to sharpen up a Simmons later on today and let you know about that. I know it poses it's own special set of issues but I'm sure it can be overcome. A set of half round stones for either system might bear looking at. -------------------- Hunt Sharp Charlie A Bowhunter's Tales Posts: 9945 | From: Missouri | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Charlie Lamb Charter Member/SPONSOR Member # 8 posted                     Will add a Grizzly to the list of heads to sharpen tonight and post results. I know what they will be though. -------------------- Hunt Sharp Charlie A Bowhunter's Tales Posts: 9945 | From: Missouri | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Guru Admin Member # 616 posted                     I luv Charlie thread -------------------- Curt } >>---> "I love you Daddy".......My son Cade while stump shooting 3/19/06 Posts: 16229 | From: NY | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  owlbait Trad Bowhunter Member # 7963 posted                 Thanks Charlie. Ron gave me a personal lesson at K-Zoo. He said the best option for the Simmons is the knife sharpener kit. He actually sharpened one for me but I'm not "sharp" enough to follow along so I will stick with the other broadheads I have. -------------------- Advice from The Buck:"Only little girls shoot spikers!"

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy! Anyone that's been thinking about a knife and/or broadhead system just get it...you won't be disappointed. Give Ron a call. Thanks Charlie -------------------- What was big was not the antlers, but the chance.

Love to drag up a chair, cup of joe and learn from the older guys !!! Charlie, looking forward to seeing how the Simmons head comes out, especially if it is as sharp in the concave part as the rest of the head. Ron, if you are listening please add a solution or round stones to the kit and Walla ! The best sharpening system on the planet no ifs ands or buts !!! nocams Posts: 2488 | From: TN | Registered: Dec 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Charlie Lamb Charter Member/SPONSOR Member # 8 posted                     OK guys! Just came in from the shop with some results from sharpening. Here are the ones I opted to sharpen... Was able to bring every one to a razor like edge without undo problems. -------------------- Hunt Sharp Charlie A Bowhunter's Tales Posts: 9945 | From: Missouri | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Charlie Lamb Charter Member/SPONSOR Member # 8 posted                     The first of the lot was the Simmons... because I was really curious what I could do. This head had been through the wringer. Killed a pile of Sage hens with it last fall and it spent it fair share of time skittering off through the sage and granite of western Wyoming. The edge was real rough, nicked and dull as my brain before caffeine. The KME knife sharpening jig was used and I achieved a very sharp edge in short order... I'd shoot it at anything right now. As suspected, the flat stones were working the grind with just the edges of the diamond hone making contact along the blade edge. Although it worked well enough, I suspect that this process would cause excess wear on the edges of the diamond hone and would be even worse on a regular whet stone. A rounded stone of some kind would be the ticket. -------------------- Hunt Sharp Charlie A Bowhunter's Tales Posts: 9945 | From: Missouri | Registered: Mar 2003  |  IP: Logged |
