I had same problem I ordered KME sharp Tusker heads from Braveheart archery and they are sharper than anything I have ever seen right out of box. Now that I see the bevel and tip how it should be (and see that it can actually be done) Im gonna give it another go. Good luck

And the shipping at Braveheart is quick. I ordered from KustomKing 6 days before Braveheart and both came same day.

I like sharpening broadheads and knives. That being said, I just got some Zephyr Sasquatch heads and they are shaving sharp right out of the package and I was very happy about it as I am pressed for time lately.

or use thunderheads or muzzys......both will kill very well with trad gear.........

What kind of stone are you using? The KME doesn't do the sharpening, the stone does. KME is just the worlds greatest shapening angle guide. Try an agressive coarse diamond stone to establish a bevel follwed by a medium or fine and then a cardboard or leather strop My experience has been that most people who cant sharpen with any method are usually using way too much pressure "rolling the edge" as fast as its formed.

I like to sharpen- step by step activities like sharpening or reloading ammunition relax me when I am stressed out.

Great offer Tim. The single bevel Tusker Concords I bought from you have been the heads I find I can get the sharpest. It does take a bit of file work but once I strop the head on cardboard look out.

Thanks for the offer Tim, but I do believe that I got it. I was afraid of wrecking them by being to aggressive but I finally broke out the bench mounted belt sander and set an edge. Followed that up with 80, 120, 220, 400, 600, and 800. Got a shaving sharp mirror finish. Thanks for all the tips. We have the best group of guys here on tradgang. I sure am glad that I found this sight.

Have you called KME? Sorry if you did and I missed that, but he spent the time on the phone necessary to help me.  Great guy and great product if you ask me.

Tim, it was really good of you to make that offer... and without condition OR accusation of any kind.  I respect you both as a man and a businessman!!!      

Glad to hear you got it worked out in the end, Jeremiah.  Hope your season opener goes great!

I use a big file like suggested to set the bevel using my KME broadhead sharpener (not the knife sharpener though I have that too). I place the file along side a piece of wood the same thickness as the file so the sharpener sets the same bevel when I switch to the stone. I slide the sharpener sideways along the file, point or heel first along the length of the file. Resist the temptation to apply too much pressure when trying to hog off metal as even a stiff broadhead will flex slightly with too much pressure and mess up your angle at best. Apply too much pressure and you will be hogging metal off the shoulder of the bevel and not the edge. Move to the stones once you've got an edge with the file. I skip the coarse stone because I can get it shaving sharp with the file. Fine stone gets it surgical. KME is the best system I've seen for getting a consistent bevel. Does take some practice though and every broadhead is different.

I have good luck with two blade heads,but the three blade I  just can't get.

[sawtoothscream]

they are a PITA to sharpen.  I really had to file the heck out of them to get the edge then work them with the kme.  i have one pretty sharp.

anyways i switched to hunor africas. they come shary sharp and i can bring them right back to the sharpness on my kme.  holds a great edge though

That is an awesome tip. I will definitely be using that trick next time.

And what are those a Sliver Flame spin off?

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Tuskers are a b______d to get sharpened initially. I've used them to good effect once they were sharp, though.

Braveheart will get more of my business!

Way to go Tim.
