the KME works good for setting the blade angle or stoning away nicks, after that it's hard to beat a strop of leather and some fine compound.

I have only used a KME a couple times on my Wensel Woodsmans when I was at my dad's place. He has one and uses it to sharpen everything. It got those WW deadly sharp very quickly from the factory ground edge. About half the time it took me with a tru angle as I do not have the coarse stones.

I still like the TruAngle better for 2/4blades. For 3 blades like the WW and Snufffer the KME cant be beat IMO, I still finish with a leather strop and jewlers rouge tho.

some may say its expenive---but you'll only buy it once when you buy a KME---ron is a true gentleman and backs his system 100%--and when you call KME-you will get ron !!

Just ran a brand new Zwickey Eskimo over the KME system and as a rank amateur it did not take me long to get it very sharp. I'll get faster and better with it but at this point I must say I am pleased with it.

If i was starting over I'd buy a KME, but my lansky kit is still working fine. I actually find the accusharp the most valuable piece in my sharpening kit. I like it so much i actually just got another in case my first walks away.
