Arrow penetration.... the real secret.

This is some great information guys. This is what "Tradgang" is here for. To learn from others. I wish we could have a Topic saved in the "How-To" section with this type of information.  Maybe a "Sharpening Methods/Tips" we can refer to when we need to. Thanks again for this information.......

Charlie,
you and Ron have pointed to the biggest error MOST people make in sharpening.

That's why everyone seems to have problems with the Grizzly, in my opinion.

Changing the bevel is hard cutting- but it has nothing to do with sharpening the head.

When you get the bevel changed, you have to put your sharpening cap on- let the weight of the file do the work- not your arm muscles.

I have found a FLAW IN MY KME  

It takes a way long time to sharpen, Machetes and Swords..........I need some wider and longer jaws...

I was having trouble getting my Phantoms as sharp as I would like with the kme so I gave Ron a call this afternoon. What a great guy to talk to. He took the time to walk me through the whole process of sharpening one over the phone. Turns out I was just using to much pressure. My arm now has a huge bare spot and I feel sorry for any deer that gets in front of one of them now. Thanks Ron!
