JC, the three blade sharpener is in the works, probably next year.

The best way to sharpen an inside curve like a Simmons broadhead is with a round rod or round edged slip stone. The sharpener will work for these style blades but, a different technique is required. We realy want to add a three grit set of ceramic or natural Arkansas round rods to our line but man, they cost a fortune! Trying to find a high quality AMERICAN supplier right now.

If anyone knows of one please let me know.
Thanks,

Sharps,

Welcome to the Tradgang!

And HappY Birthday to your wife!

I am extremely pleased with both my KME broadhead sharpener and my KME knfe sharpener. My knives and broadheads are insanely sharp using these tools.

Both tools make sharpening a breeze. The results are swift and predictable with these tools.

Thank you for creating an all-American made tool for sharpening broadheads. And an even better tool for sharpening knives.

I can hardly wait to see what KME comes up with for sharpening the three-blade broadheads!

Good luck hunting!  >>>------------>

Tom, Thanks. The spherical bearing and race are made from Nylon 6/6. We don't offer replacements on the website because the whole sharpener is guaranteed for life. If you were to wear out or break any part, we would replace it free.

Ron welcome to the gang. I just watched your videos and was wondering what kind of honing oil you were spraying on your stones?  Thanks Glenn

Glenn,
That's top secret info! Just kidding, one of my favorite honing oils is not a honing oil at all. It is CRC Screwloose! This is a very lightweight penitrating oil and not only does it do a great job of "floating" the metal particles, it cleans the stone instantly when you spray it on.

I have not seen the sharper yet! But with all of the attention it has drawn, I'm about to bring up another tab. Journeyman meat cutter at the age of 19, ( grew up in the business ) I can sharpen a blade, hone it, and keep it. ( I use wood, not plastic ) For you fellas that don't know this yet, If you have a razo0r sharp edge on your knife and it gets a bit dull, find a nice piece of wood and holding it at a 90 degree angle, just pull it through and straighten out the edge.

Good tip Bowferd,

A quick stropping on a piece of dry cardboard will bring it right back too.

I use oil on my stones when sharpening indoors, or any non-ventilated area, like in the truck.

But if you are outdoors, or in a garage or other well-ventilated area try giving the stone a blast of carburetor cleaner. It not only cleans the stone, it allows the stone to cut more aggressively too.

Just be careful not to breath in any of the dain brammaging vapors...

Good luck hunting!  >>>------------>

I've been  trying my best to avoid this thread (like the plague)! Not because I didn't want to welcome a new sponsor (always happy to do that for tradgang) but because I have always been "sharpening challenged", though some of the best have tried to teach me (I can't keep a consistant angle) -  and, consequently,  have spent more money on each "best new sharpening system" then I care to remember. Most commonly winding up with semi-satisfying results, at best. They might very well have been good systems, for some folks (must be, they keep selling them), but I usually wound up with more hand cramps than I did really sharp broadheads and/or knives. I hate it - but that's "the facts, Mame".

Well, I could stand it no more, I finally had to peek in on this thread. While reading the thread, with all it's accolades, I was feeling the torment of two sneaky types of familiar thoughts - "Yeah, here we go again," and, "I'll have to check his video and web site, after I finish this thread."

I did - and all I can say is, "Wow!" This is the first one I"ve seen that seems to really make sense and at the same time looks like I might be able to make it work, without hand cramps. Now, if I was just rich, instead of so good looking -   ;)  That isn't said to mean your product is too expensive for what it is purported to do, just an old, toungue-in-cheek saying that I learned from my Pop and have used all my life. I will find a way - I'll start out small and get the Broadhead setup first and work my way up later (time permitting   :D  ). BHs are most important first ( and  give the worst hand cramp problems)!

As you can preceive, Ron, your web site and demo videos seem most effective and convincing to me. Good job, great demos. Lord willing, I'll be ordering soon. I see no reason it won't also work on single bevel BH edges, unless I'm missing something, right?

Welcome to what I see as a "very welcome" new sponsor.

ber63, It works great on single bevel BH's...I just finished some today and they are plenty sharp. If I can do it, anyone can. It is not just the system (which made sense to me also) but the quality of the product.
