KME Sharpener

[Swiper]

Is it worth the price to get a "Diamond Stones Kit" over the standard? Are KME really that good or do you fellows recommend some other company over them?

[JimB]

I wouldn't recommend anyone over KME.You can get good results with either type stone.With regular stones you use oil.With the diamonds,you use water or dry.

Any sharpener is only as good as the person using it. KME is 99% foolproof. You won't find better customer service. Ron is rock solid Christian tops (no kidding). Think highly of the Alaska Bowhunt Supply boys too.

Talk with Ron at KME regarding the diamond stones. He will not steer you wrong. I use the regular stones with my KME and I'm very happy with product. Diamond stones will take off a lot of metal.

When I purchased my KME system, the folks at the KME Booth (Denton Hill... 2009) explained the pros and cons of both.   Finally, I purchased the standard kit, but also added an additional diamond stone (extra charge).

I love me KME system, and have no problem recommending it to others.  

As Bill Turner stated, "Talk to Ron...".

Regards!

They are the real deal. Not sure on your stone question but to make sure you get a big bastard file to start them all out with if you have the hard metal broadheads. Saves you lots of time.

Awesome product, simply awesome ! I hear nothing but high praise for Ron ( Sharpster ), as well.

Diamond stones (specifically the extra-coarse)are good for removing material fast.  Once you get there, the "regular" stones are likely all you will need - I am sure Ron will be chiming in - which is yet another reason you want to go with him - customer service.

The product is outstanding, and the guy(s) behind it are top notch!

Are the diamond stones worth the extra money? That depends on what type BHD you're sharpening and how much material needs to be removed. In most cases I'd say no, save your money and get the regular stones. For really hard steel BHDs like Grizzlies and Tuskers, even the diamonds aren't aggressive enough. Those heads will need to be filed the first time and after filing, the regular stones will work almost as fast to finish them up and they'll produce a edge that's far superior to anything diamonds alone could.

Are the KME sharpeners that good? I'm too opinionated on that one to comment!

Oh no, my bad... Swiper were you talking about the knife sharpener or the BHD sharpener? In the case of the knife sharpener, same advice unless you have some custom knives with very high Rockwell hardness (60+). For anything less than that the standard stones are my personal choice.

If you can't get something sharp with the KME system you quite likely never will.

[Swiper]

OK SOLD! I will buy mine tommorow.

Hey we get any discount for being a Tradgang member?

No discount necessary; they're that good!  :D

[Swiper]

Do you buy it directly from him or do I have to go through a dealer?

[Recurve50 LBS]

I think you can buy direct from Ron. I did a number of years ago and so did my cousin. I was just sharpening my broadheads yesterday and now I have no hair on my left arm. Looks like I have the mange.You will not be disappointed.

Your making me fell stupid,   I can't get anything sharp on my kme broadhead set

[ber643]

Call Ron and I swear he will talk you through it on the phone and at the end of a short conversation, and one or two practice sessions, you'll be the pro you never thought you could be. Trust me - and he'll enjoy doing it.

Buy direct from Ron - he has a web site listed in the Sponsors pull down list at the top of the pages here.
