You all are missing the boat...(KME)

[Mike Vines]

...If you have never tried the KME knife sharpened.  I have been reading all the reviews and recommendations, and finally figured I just had to see what all the hype is about. I bought it almost a month ago, and finally got it out last night to try on my broadheads that are mounted to my arrows.

Using the course diamond stone, I was able to establish a 25* angle that was sharper than anything I have ever been able to do with every other knife/broadhead sharpener I have ever tried.  

I'm going to try progressively finer stones tonight to see just how scary I can get them.  

Now I will say that it was not a quick job getting the initial  bevel on them, but they are exact.  Each one took me about 7 minutes.  But for less than 50 minutes I have 7 Ace Standards that impress the heck out of me.

Every hunter should have one! JMHO.

Mike, are you using the Knife kit or the broadhead kit. Thanks, Don

Best $100 bucks I ever spent.  I opted for the diamond stones, because I know how I like to drop things and the natural stones would probably break.  And then I would have to order the diamond ones anyway, so I just went ahead and got what I really wanted anyway.

I do like how the knife sharpener is able to sharpen both knives and broadheads.  Where as the broadhead sharpener is, in my opinion, only good for one thing...sharpening broadheads.  I bought the knife sharpener.

The way I look at a purchase is that it has to serve atleast 3
purposes for me to consider buying it.  

The KME knife sharpener, does 3 for me.  It sharpens my hunting knives (1), it sharpens my 2 blade broadheads (2) and most importantly, it keeps my wife happy by having sharp kitchen knives (3), and now that I think of it there is a 4th one.  It is small enough to stay in my truck just incase a buddy needs a demonstration on how food it works.

I made the mistake of just getting the KME broadhead sharpener!

Not a mistake Sparty... As I just posted you'll be done sharpening your BHS and be kicked back reading threads on the PowWow long before anyone using the knife sharpener.

I have both the broadhead and knife sharpener and I'm happy with both. Started with the knife sharpener and then bought the broadhead sharpener. There is definitely a place for both.
As for the diamond stones, I havn't gone that route yet. Havn't seen the need to take off that much metal.

cant wait to get mine in the mail!!!

They are great for establishing the correct angle you want your cutting edge to be.  I'm sure the natural stones do an awesome job of "polishing" the blade to an unbelievably sharp edge, atleast natural stones do that to my chisel blades.  I'm sure once I feel confident in my abilities with the knife sharpener (which will not take long at all) I will pick up some natural stones, but for now I'm happy being amazed at me actually being able to sharpen something and be proud to say I did it.

I will have to try that.

"Oh yea one other thing- If you think your BHDs and knives are sharp now, you gotta try the standard stones. Diamonds will take a blade from dead blunt to very sharp in a hurry but, you'll never achieve that "Holy smokes"! level of sharpness using only diamond stones."

Hmmm, sounds like a marketing opportunity in there.  How about a set with a diamond course stone with medium to fine standard stones?  Yeah, I'm just too cheap to order the standard set plus $12 for the diamond course ;-)

Got one about a month ago from a fellow TGer and absolutely love it.  I should have bought one of these a long time ago.
