I just got my knife sharpener and lost sleep for two nights sharpening EVERYTHING in the house! Even the butter knives have shaving edges (no, not the butter knives)!!

I did learn, the VERY hard way, not to sharpen stuff whilst standing over a hard surface (like my concrete garage floor). I dropped the coarse stone and it shattered!    :(  

I didn't even have it a week and was just about to sharpen the lawn mower blade...    :banghead:  

So sad.

Cool...Ron has a neat little shop...now if we can only get him out of the shop and into the woods more often....   :saywhat:

We need to keep Stiffrod away and things will start looking brighter...KME is definately the real deal and those "sharpening Challenged" should seriously consider this product.

Think I will give these a try. Question for the KME guys, Will the course and medium/fine stones be enough for broadheads or should you go on to a Arkansas stone and if so which one? Thanks.

Katman the two stones are all you need to get them sharp.  You can use a fine hard Arkansas to get a more polished edge.  Personal preference.  That is what is in the BH Deluxe Kit.
Juan...yes.  Those are the new stones.

Are these stones available for the knife sharpener as well? That is what I use on my Abowyer Brown Bears.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Fred,  We are having some made now that will fit the stone carrier 1"x4".  Not sure when they will be available.  The Gang will be the first to know.

Jake, is that the Aluminum-oxide stone on your site that we are talking about?
