Title: KME???
Post by: Zach Mikita on November 30, 2009, 02:22:00 AM
I've done my research on the KME Diamond set and plan on buying it, but I need a system that can sharpen 3 bladed heads like the KME system sharpens 2 bladed....suggestions please

The best "system" for three bladed heads is a file, diamond stones and a ceramic rod or a leather strop to finish. Look at all the threads on how to sharpen woodsmans, Snuffers, etc. and you will see that there is not really a commercial kit for them. If you are buying the KME braodhead sharpener with the diamond stones then you are better than half way to having a kit for three blades.

I bought the KME knife sharpener and use all the stones in the holder (not with the rod) to hone my Snuffers and Woodsmen after I get done with the grinding wheel.  Works great and makes it a very multi functional tool.  I don't do two blades, but see no reason why they could not be mounted in the knife shapener and done as you would a knife in the KME.

2 Blades indeed are easily done in the KME Knife sharpener, fwiw.  Infinite angle adjustments and ability to do a compound bevel or duplex, I believe some call it.
