Ron is planning to bring the left bevel 200 and 170 Kodiak's and left bevel 160 Grizzly's to the Baltimore Bowemen shoot next weekend.
I'll be taking him 130 Grizzly's and another batch of 170 Kodiak's.

It will go alot quicker if you dont try to hone the entire 25 degree bevel. I only hone the edge that will be doing the cutting.

Brock,

If you need any help give me a call, or better yet come on up to the Baltimore shoot this weekend and I'll show you how to do it in person. You can even bring your Lansky.

I wish I was going to Baltimore...too busy at work to take Friday off.  I may break down and buy the KME if I cant get it done with my 120, 280, and 600 stones...

what angle are you guys sharpening...sticking with 25* like the grind...or raising it to 30 or lowering to 20 degrees to just get the edge?
Keep em sharp,

I just got mine in the mail today and I have just two words for Bill and Ron - Thank You.  I really like the improvement to the ferrule, mounting them straight is a snap, and they get scary sharp in just a few minutes.  The blade going completely to the other side looks like it will improve the strength of the broadhead.  Thank you both again, keeping this in production and the improvements you have made are greatly appreciated.

okay....got KME broadhead today.  Couple questions---

1.  Are you still going back and forth 15-20 strokes on coarse stone to ensure bevel or is that skippable with the new grind

2. Kodiaks are much wider than the provided stones...did I waste my money on those stones...should I have just gone and bought my own course and medium stones..or a medium and fine stone that is wider and such

3.  Do you run your strokes forward only on medium grind

4.  Do you run as much as will fit on stone a few times and then adjust over to run rest of blade on stone equal amount to cover whole blade....i tried that and also making an arc on stone but stones too small and heads too long to do it consistently...ideas or am i over thinking it

finally started to get an edge but not scare sharp at all....  who is going to do the first video of using KME on Grizzly Kodiak 200 on the included stones from out the pack until sharp...with no breaks?  About ready to pull out my raw Ribteks and sharpen them just to prove I know how and get some confidence back. LOL

Also...on some of the heads the edges are pretty uneven...guessing those need the coarse stone to clean everything up?
Keep em sharp,

Brock, Video's will be coming but it is going to take some time. For now Ron is writing up a very clear step by step description of sharpening these heads.Ron has explained this so many times he knows exactly how to get the point across. Give him a call and he will have you shaving hair in no time.

The uneven edge you are speaking of is likely the thin burr. It is so very thin it will often come off on its own just from the head being handled or shipped.That will make the edge look uneven but it is not. The actual edge under the burr will be strait. You should be able to see it once the burr is removed.
