Best Sharpener ever?

[GMASIUK]

KME for me. From my Magnus stingers to my Case trapper, it does an awesome job!

[Night Wing]

For broadheads and knives, I'd cast my vote for the KME knife sharpener.

KME works great for me !!!

Gatco diamond stone is what I use.  It's the only one that clamps all my different grinds.

does the KME knife system work with singl bevel broadheads? i couldn't find any info on there webste that says if it does

[Canadian Idle]

Get the KME knife sharpener with the Diamond stones and be done with it. In my opinion it is THE BEST sharpener out there, period. NUFF SAID X3

I like my lansky.. I have all the stones and diamonds for it. I can get any knife or 2 blade head very sharp in just a few minutes.

I don't only build knives but dozzens of trade points a year.
  For hunting heads for years and years I just used a file. But 6 or 7 years ago I started useing a sander. Do this if you want razor shape. It's not quick but not other way of getting razor sharp. STAYS AND EASY TO RESHJARPEN ONCE DONE.
 I start out with 80 or 100 grit. This evens up and puts a good starting edge on it.
 Then I move down to 220 grit.
 Then to 400 grit.
 I keep my angle 15%. I know most people need a guide
 You can go down lower in grit but I can't see any difference.
 You can strop if you like but I don't even to this any more. You get a mirror finish thats imposable to get a shaper blade. I'm not saying other methods don't shapen as good but like this once do'nt if you don't destory the edge. There do quicker way to resharpen.
 When ever you need to reshapen it only takes a second with the 400.
 Just the way I come to do it it works for me. I've used them all I don't think I'll ever use anything else.

KME Knife Sharpener.

the thing about this product, is you get $300.00 worth of free training on it....

Hands down, plus my wife is happy to have sharp knives.      

[Kamm1004]

Roy, I've actually heard of that system before just not with a grinder. They just use sandpaper taped down and use it like a stone. I think it's called the "scary sharp" system

[2treks]

The best sharpener ever is that guy at the KME booth at the shows,He can get my pocket knife RAZOR sharp everytime!

Yes, the KME knife sharpener will sharpen single bevel heads, no problem. Once you get the burr pushed to the flat side opposite the single bevel just hone it off making sure you hold the head flat against the hone / strop. You will LOVE the KME system. Buy the standard stone kit and then a couple of the extra course diamond stones and you are all set. I use the extra course for 90% of the work to be done, then switch to medium india, then the white hard arkansas to finish.

Biggest mistake most folks make is leaving the course stones too fast. You must make sure you have a full burr on both sides before leaving the course stones. I can shave hair with the course diamond stone edge. The you simply refine and polish the edge you have established. Once you have done the hard work of establishing a perfect bevel on all your cutting tools touch ups are 5 minutes tops !

Without making Ron blush I just cannot say enough good things about his KME system ! Best tool ever devised on this planet, PERIOD ! My knives have never been sharper, never been sharp from stem to stern, even 9" fillet knives ! Once I get started I enjoy it so much I usually run out of knives and would almost sharpen the butter knives in the house too. JMHO

Unanswerable question ... that depends on the steel you are sharpening. Different steels favor different sharpening techniques.

[LKH]

I'm a big fan of a mounted inclined belt sander w/60micron belt.  Then take the burr off with a high speed buffing wheel.

Did about 30 knives in a half hour yesterday.

KME!

   For 6 bucks you can get shaving sharp knives and heads and ANYONE can figure them out.
