Can the KME Knife sharpener sharpen single bevel edge broadheads?

Thanks in advance.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

the kme knife sharpening system is just plain *awesome* - too easy to sharpen single and dual blade knives and broadheads.  i never liked any "sharpening system" 'til i tried the kme.  you will NOT be disappointed!      :thumbsup:      :thumbsup:

Can you use the knife sharpener on broadheads, because I see their broadhead sharpener comes with a second clamp for broadheads?

What would you suggest if its main use was used for broadheads more than knives?

If you can get both. If only one get the knife sharpener. It will do any two blade with a straight or convex blade. Doesn't work good on a convex blade. I only have the knife and am very pleased. I was always able to get knives and heads sharp but now it's scary sharp. You can't beat the customer service either!

I tried both, but prefer the knife sharpener for my broadheads, because they are glued onto wooden shafts, which preclude them from being used with the broadhead sharpener. So absolutely, use the knife sharpener on broadheads, no matter what bevel you fancy. And their service to Australia is indeed excellent.

My Abowyer Wapiti's sharpen up real nice with the KME. You don't have to sharpen the entire bevel. And just a smidge on the none bevel side. Razor sharp!

You won't be able to use the KME knife or broadhead sharpener on a three blade head.

All you really need for them is a good flat stone to sharpen two of the three blades at a time.

General Patton once said of the M1 Garand..... "Best Battle implement ever devised " , or close to that.

The only reason he could say that was the KME system was not around at that time so....... I will say, " Best tool on this planet " JMHO

Got one under the Christmas tree.  It arrived today.  Been wanting to get one for 3 years so I ordered one for myself.  Have to go now so I can rehearse looking suprised when I open the box  from the secret santa on Christmas morning.

Write your questions down numbered. Call Ron at KME, tell him you;re from TG & have "x" number of sharpening questions. He;ll answer each well. If so, have your credit card ready & order one of these things. His excellent customer service is legendary.

Love mine! I showed the guys at work a couple knives and broadheads I sharpened with my KME and now they're showing-up with dull stuff for me to sharpen.
