KME on its way
« on: March 25, 2011, 01:39:00 AM »
I just got off the phone with KME. I ordered the knife sharpener with the diamond stones. And a (4) pack of the regular stones. I cant wait to sharpen my knifes and my stinger broadheads. Hopefully I can get them sharp. its all pretty new to me never really sharpened anything but after hearing all the good reviews I just had to see what all the hype was all about. thanks guys

No doubt about it, they're a well-conceived and manufactured piece of equipment.

Got the Knife and the Broadhead systems (liked the BH holder so much I bought a second so I can do two at a time) and cannot say enough about how great the KME systems work and the people at KME are.  If you have questions or an issue they are all over it fast!

I have the knife system with diamond stones and it works great! I use mine for all my knives and stinger BH's. Remember to use very light pressure, and let the tool do the work.

Best tool on this Planet !!! Just make sure you do not leave the coarse stone until you got a good burr full length of the blade or head. Use a sharpie to mark your bevel on the blade so you can see when you are getting close to getting a good bevel and then a good burr. After that it is only a matter of how many grits you want to go thru and how refined and polished you want it. Never had a knife this sharp or seen one this sharp. Gutted 5 deer this year with Buck 110 folder and it still shaves hair EFFORTLESSLY !!! All I did was wash the blood, hair, and fat off the blade, stropped it on leather about 10 passes in between each deer. Cannot say enough good about Ron and KME. Never know what a TRULY sharp knife was till KME came along. JMHO

The good news TJ is that if it us bleeding instead of the intended target the edge is so sharp it doesn't hurt ! You may not even know you are cut.

Nope, made for knives and two blade heads only. You can also sharpen removable bleeder blades as well.

Snuffers and WW's get the 16" Nicholson mill bastard, then stropped on a wooden block with thick leather glued on top.

Nope, stones are too wide for the radius of the Simmons. I played around with a chainsaw file by cutting it to length so the KME stone holder of the knife sharpener would hold it. Got them sharp, just not the normal KME sharp. I also found some 1/4" and 3/8" round india stones on line that I could have made work. However, I am now shooting 160 Snuffers pretty much all the time so I gave up trying to sharpen Simmons.

I was wondering when you guys sharpen your 2 blade heads do you guys go up and down with the stone and than finish it off with a pass from heel to tip. Just like the video shows him doing with the knife. I havent got my set yet should be here on monday just getting ready. And do you guys do the same on each side and than go to your next finer stone? never sharpened anything so this is all new to me guys any help is appreciated. What angle do you guys use for your 2 blade stingers? Thanks brad

babs,
I assume you are talking about using the knife sharpener on your stingers.... If so, take a sharpie and mark the bevels good. Then set your angle on 22-25 degrees, not critical. Then take the coarsest stone you have and grind back and forth till you get a good bevel full length on the stinger on the first side. Once you have that done, flip and do the same to the second side. By this time you should have a burr full length that you can catch with the tip of your nail. Now all you need to do is go thru the grits polishing the bevel and edge you have established. When you get down to the fine stone change to a push only stroke, in other words push the stone up and into the blade 1-2 strokes, then flip. After a few times back and forth you will have one sharp stinger !!!
