Thanks for all the input guys. Love TG.
Call me "stupid."
Have to be honest- I can hit most blades on an accusharp maybe ten times. Touch them on ceramics, strop them- and they are shaving sharp in under 5 minutes a blade. I will take that in the field any day of the week! (I did it last night to prove it to myself)
I am probably just not patient enough. Have too many other things to do- like go shoot!
I will add: I think KME knife sharpener is a TREMENDOUS product. You could not find better construction, service, or ownership. I will continue to use it. But even one of the sharpening experts (I truly mean that- no sarcasm at all!) on this site took an hour to sharpen a Silver flame head for me- and it was never like its original state. I hunt with simplicity- I shoot trad because it was easier for me than techno stuff (Seriously!!) With that, a 1.5 ounce accusharp in my pocket will go with me anywhere in the world- and I have shaving sharp heads- anytime!
