Just curious what you guys use and think is the best sharpener/sharpening system for broadheads and hunting/skinning knives alike? I use the jewelstik and love it, but i always finish them with my grandpa's old shapening stone which is a chinese waterstone i think its 12000 grit. Then i use a leather strop to polish them off. I'm looking to get a new sharpener so let me know what you think. thanks!

KME is a great product

I think the "BEST" ever is a simple file, anyone can use it with little to no instructions. It doesn't always get things "super sharp" but IMHO will always get it sharp enough to do the job. That being said I use paper wheels at home and cary a file for field touch ups.

so, how sharp do you guys think it needs to be? I shave with straight edge and have no problems sharpening that, however i cant ever get my magnus heads "razor" sharp, only what you would call "sharp enough". it gets kinda frustrating

For simple and inexpensive, it's hard to beat the RADA wheel. May not get things as sharp as a KME, but much more portable for use in the field and it's hard to imagine that a broadhead sharpened with it would ever not be sharp enough to get the job done.

Dang, Rob. You beat me to it.

Great minds I guess.

I even sharpen my VPA's with it. Works great.

Explained on another thread that sharpening is only as good as the person doing it. I sharpen surgical instruments since 1993. Exactly what makes KME such a good product. Quality with the added patience, ways & means of Ron.

Im looking for something i can use on broadheads and skinning knives. The KME looks incredible but i'd have to buy two seperate systems =(

pdk25 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 23, 2012, 07:19:00 PM »

Well, that isn't true. KME makes a knife sharpener that can be used for broadheads.

Accusharp. Not sexy, but cheap and will get 2 blade broadheads shaving sharp in no time.

KME, Nuff Said

KME works on 2 blade BH and knives and very well too!

Best all around IMO.

KME....nuff said.

Kamm1004 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 23, 2012, 08:16:00 PM »

so the KME knife sharpening system works on knives and broadheads but the one made especially for broadheads wont work on knives as well? which would be best to buy for the best of both worlds?

Kamm why ?

KME knife sharpener is the ONLY one to buy for "both worlds". Will sharpen two blade BH's as well as knives.
Broad head sharpener will only do BH's.

If you can only buy 1 get the Knife sharpener. You will not regret it. Any problems call Ron, you'll be a pro in no time!

I really have a hard time getting anything sharp, but the KME works pretty well for me???
