I think so! Going to make a video showing how I can take a treeshark from factory sharp to hair poppin using nothin more than a kme broadhead sharpener and a b@stard file and leather stop...
ok this is just as quick as i could get one poppin hair.... i spoke with Ron from kme and i think i may start using a diamond stick between file and strop but this works just fine...

I don't see how KME can be much better than the credit it gets around this sight. I love mine and have seen nothing but praises for the KME around here.

Bisch for sure but I guess I was referring to the fact they say you can't sharpen these heads with the broadhead sharpener
I would love to see the video..the simmons is tricky to sharpen with the sharpener
I'd love to see the video. Also, while you're at it,try to get a Centaur Big Game broadhead (darn angle) sharpened with the KME. Peace!
I would be very interested in seeing the video, A buddy and I are going to split a pack of tree sharks and try em out but getting them sharp enough has been a concern.
I'm asking for the KME Knife Sharpener for X-Mas,,, am I screwing up by not getting the broadhead sharpener? I wanted something to sharpen my braodheads and was told the knife sharpener can do both knives and heads?
Can't wait for your video to be posted.
Gah I can't wait to show yall I got a 3 pack shaving sharp last night in like 20 min, got another pack to make a video with... I'll make it as soon as I get out of the woods
I have both models....and while it may not be necessary I use both. I start out with the knife sharpener. I have extra course stone that set the bevel on my grizzlys. I follow up with 4 stones each of a finer grit. I then switch to the BH jig. I finish up by polishing the edge on a very large white(arkansas?)stone followed by an old barber strop.
Maybe this is over kill...I don't know. But I do know this, my BH's will make your eyes bleed if you look at them for more than a second...
Then, I may resort to getting the BH jig as well as the knife sharpener
Please post the video. I think it will be of interest to many of us here. Thanks.

Thanks for posting and sharing that Brandon. I have some Interceptors on fir shafts that I have sharpened, but will try this for sure.
Bad...
VERY clever! That's a very interesting way to apply the use of the jig...
I don't shoot the sharks but if I did I would certainly employ your method!
I have both. I also have the FirstLite pants the OP has. Never seen them from that perspective..... Now that I have, not sure I need to again!!!!! Good sharpening technique though. Thanks for sharing.
Lol I was limited on time and setup options....I was waitin on iy tho
thanks for sharing

Nice video and ingenious use of the KME. Honestly, i get the simmons heads hair popping sharp in less than a minute using a RADA wheel sharpener, plus I can use it easily in ths field. KME makes a great product, and I own both the knife sharpener and broadhead aharpener. I don't doubt that you can get them slightly sharper with the KME, but I will stick to the ease of a wheel sharpener.
Great video lots of folk have trouble sharpening those curved blades.
I wonder if it wold work if Ron would make a round stone for his knife sharpener to use on the Simmons. Something like a ceramic rod adapted to use on the knife sharpener. John
Very ingenious Brandon. :readit:
Ron
I sharpen my Simmons with a 1/2 inch wide vertical belt sander (to set the grind angle lower) and then the 3 sided Jewel stick with the head mounted in the Redi-edge (I think its called). I would love to be able to do everything on my KME knife sharpener. We need that half round diamond stone set Ron.
:thumbsup:
I use a gatco(like lansky) guide and then use a dianomd jewelstick(3 sided) that has a rod in the end of it. It fits into the guide and then you use the jewelstick like a file. It will get them scary sharp. BILL
Great video even better Lesson
Hey Ron, just got your product and I love it! Along with the round ceramic suggestion above, think about a fine metal file for the stone clamp for beveling the angles quicker. Takes me awhile to find the burr using your coarse stone.
Overall great product, some of my sharpest edges yet have come from the kme knife sharpener.
