i figured it out. i wasnt working it enough with the course stone and getting a good edge before moving on to the medium. I changed the angle to 26degrees and worked it until it was sharp then went to the medium and  have one scary sharp now after going back through the emials he sent me and fallowing it exactly.  have a few patches of hair missing and its popping rubber bands easy, to bad I ruined the other 2 though before i actually listened

Ron is a stand up guy. I have been having trouble sharpening three blade broadheads forever. I called him today to ask him about some stones that I had ordered and he spent alot of his Saturday helping me to learn the process of sharpening the three blade broadhead.

By the end of the session, he had me plowing hair off my arm. That is something that I have never been able to do!!  KME is great stuff!

Thanks Ron!!!

Good for you!  I've had a number of phone conversations with Ron and the guy is aces!  I love my coarse grit stone, best I've ever used.  Like Charlie said, now that you've got the hang of it, you'll be looking for everything under the sun to sharpen and shave with  :)

Just got one a couple of weeks ago and so happy that I did.  It sharpens the BH's way better than I can.  Highly recommend it!

Sawtooth,

The harder the steel, the longer to "set" the edge... and Tuskers are nearly as hard as the Grizzly head!

Takes longer to get the angle set, but the harder blade stays sharper longer.

Ron shared he had some lying around with rust on, wiped the rust off and STILL shaved hair! Now that's Sharp!   :eek:
The words "Child" and "terminal illness" should never share the same sentence! Those who care-do, others question!
