You all are missing the boat...(KME)

[Hopewell Tom]

I got both kits and am really happy too. Better than the other (whatever the name is) I had. Love the edges I get.

Hmmm, sounds like a marketing opportunity in there.  How about a set with a diamond course stone with medium to fine standard stones?  Yeah, I'm just too cheap to order the standard set plus $12 for the diamond course ;-)

No marketing ploy. Ask anyone who knows me. I do my best to talk guys out of buying diamond stones 'cause I think they're too expensive and over-rated. If you keep your blades even remotely sharp, then low cost ceramics and Arkansas stones are all you should need to bring the edges back to scary.  I do recommend a coarse or extra coarse diamond when a knife is  very dull  and needs a bit of stock removal though. Diamonds can be time savers but a knife has to be in very bad shape for me to use a diamond on it.

took me awhile to figure it out but with the help of some guys on here and KME my arms and legs have a few patches missing.  think im going to pick up the course diamond stone and try it out.

I have both the stones and diamonds. The stones are the only way to go.

mike, yer preachin to the choir - love my KME.   :D

[David McLendon]

If you really want to get scary with the KME then do your best and then switch to pulling backwards on #800 then #1200 to #1600 and finally #2000 grit wet or dry sand paper. Lay the edge down next to a some fine print and read it off the blade.

Mike,

I knew you would be impressed.

I will bring you a couple stones tomorrow, but I have GOT to have them back after the weekend.  Got some sharpening to do myself next week.

[Mike Vines]

Give me a call when you get here, and I will do my best to get over there.  If not, have a good time, and I will see you on the flip side.

I got lucky and won a KEM on a past St Judes Auction. My plan was when it arrived i was going to throw a little bussines Ron's way and order the optional base (was not inclueded in the auction item)thought it was the least i could do because of Ron's donation to the kids. Well when it arrived guess what he generously included the base in the package. Top notch guy if you ask me.

One of the best tools i have in my archery tackle box.

Just a "Don't do what I did" warning. Years ago I got a Lansky sharpening system for knives. At the time, my knives were mostly ATS-34 and had not had the initial edge done yet. Being in a hurry, I leaned into that medium diamond stone and promptly took all the diamonds off. Ruined a second one a few years later. LIGHT pressure on the diamond stones. They will cut just as fast and will last 100 times longer.

Mike:
Please don't interpret my comment about the diamond stones to be a knock at you. I've just found that I can do an outstanding job on my knives and broadheads without spending the extra cash for the diamond stones. In fact, I'm one of the guys who Ron told it was not necessary to buy the diamond stones. I can sharpen most anything I need without the KME and have for years. I just find the KME to be faster and much better for the individual who just can't get his broadheads and knives sharp enough to shave hair. For sure, they are out there. Mike, congrats on your success with the KME  and "Keep'Um Sharp".  

[R. W. Mackey]

Hey Mike:  Some of us got on that boat a long time ago. I have both and both sets of stones. A little pricy, but worth every penny and then some.  If you have never tried this system, you have no idea how sharp ( Scary Sharp ) really is.  Great product...RW

[Mike Vines]

Steve O. Just dropped of his "polishing" stones for me to try this weekend.  I'm hoping to report back how great they work, not how bad I cut myself.  

I should have listened to you guys a long time ago, and just went out and bought one instead of waiting so long.

Be careful Mike. You have some work to do with them fingers.
