Just gutted our third deer of the year last night with a Buck 110 folder that was sharpened on the KME Knife sharpener. After washing the blood and fat off it will STILL shave hair off my calf effortlessly.

I do not work for KME or compensated in any way. As a former aerospace machinist and using cutting tools and abrasives most of my life I have seen all kinds of tooling and fixtures for grinding and sharpening tools. The KME is about the most awesome tool on the planet in my book right now. Never knew what a TRULY sharp knife was till now. Our knives are scary sharp from tip to base now.

We had bragged to our deer processor after deer # 2 and when he saw the hair pop off my calf he asked me to order him one. When we dropped off deer # 3 last night he was actually sharpening his 6th knife that the gals use in the processing room. He was grinning from ear to ear ! He cuts up about 20-25 deer a day this time of year. He had sharpened 3 knives and mixed them in with the other 3 and did not say anything to the girls. When he went down to the processing room mid morning they asked him, " What did you do to these 3 knives ? " They worked all day without touching them. They usually are hitting them on a butchers steel every 15 minutes and still only have a ragged edge.

He has his work cut out for him, all his knives had almost no bevel on them when I looked at them. These are commercial butchering knives and look almost like a short, filet knife. I showed him how the KME worked and hammered into his head how to use the coarse stone UNTIL he had a good bevel and could FEEL a burr on the edge. Once you get that then you simply start changing stones and polish the edge you now have. Once all his knives have a good bevel he will simply touch them up once a day with the red india stone and he is good to go again.

Ron, you got yourself one awesome tool here bud ! JMHO

I had an issue with some Muzzy Phantoms and sent Ron an email.He called me back the same evening and talked me through the process until I felt comfortable in my understanding. I've got them shaving sharp in no time at all and can't say enough about true customer service from KME. Great product and better people to deal with.

I think you wont want to use it on the HELIX. I think you just lay it flat and work it back and forth if i'm not mistaken.

I just got done sharpening 3 of my huntings knives and couldn't more happier with the results.  Hopefully, I'll be putting them to good use over the next 3-4 weeks.    ;)
