I have been using various cheap guided systems over the years and as my knife collection has grown I decided to go with the KME. I ordered all the diamond stones from 50 grit to 1500 grit as well as the Arkansas translucent and 4 micron leather strop. I have no doubt I will be able to put a mirror finish on all my knives. If you look on their website they do offer a double clamp bar attachment for larger knives as well as a scissor and shear attachment. I chose this sharpener for ease of use and it's made in the good ol' USA. Thanks for the video I enjoyed watching it.

When you say modern systems, which specific ones are you referring to?

Still a great system for the money!

5 words: don’t fix what ain’t broken!

I went with a kosim. The 80$ one that looks like an OG edge pro. So far so good

Hi I’m hesitating to pick between hapstones and Worksharp propa for my kitchen knives which one you recommend?

KME seems like the quickest system for sharpening your own knives to an acceptable level. Also, the lightweight nature of the KME helps with it's portability. Finally, I like the simple design because it seems like the KME would be easy to clean up. However, if KME would lengthen the "U" bracket, and reinforce it a little more, the system would accept 6" stones and be much more rigid.

Thanks for the look. New subscriber here

Welches System wäre denn zu empfehlen, was ist mit dem Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust als erstes?

Kme just made a brand new version

Look who’s back..back again..😜

It looks like worksharp precision bsharpener copied kme's clamp

You obviously don't keep abreast of sharpening systems...as far as the clamp it is used in both worksharp precision sharpeners. You need remember what thr competition was whrn kme came out: lansky and similiar, wickededge and edgepro. All great but with various faults as well. Thr wickededge was expensive and had issues will full flat grinds....thr edgepro at thr time didn't incorporate magnets until after thr introduction of the hapstone v5. In today's market there are far more superior and versatile systems than thr kme. Anf yes I had owned a complete set back in day with all thr gold series diamonds as well as dmt plates and chosera water stones, Dan's Arkansas stones and kme' ceramics....along with thr lapping films and stopping compound sets....the diamond rod for serrations and the 3 sided diamond plate for recurve as well as thr small pen blade jaws.....you would think after spending a pretty penny you would get good customer service....not so. My pen knife clamp was missing one of the rubber inserts, I called told Ron and was told a replacement would be shipped asap....3 weeks later nothing...so I ordered another on my own. Needless to say 2 years later the whole vise and tension assembly fell apart in my hands...luckily all my other systems can utilize all those stones...or I would have been pissed. Bottom line when the kme came out it was a good system if you had a small collection of knives, was slow and still is to this day compared to thr hapstones and tsprof whom both use 6" stones.... 6" works much faster that 4" And don't say we'll gritomatic has an adaptor...yes they do but your still only getting a 4" stroke regardless. Much better systems out there today then the kme. If your a kme fan....then rock what you love n stay sharp

I really appreciate your opinion and video. And I do get most of your cons. However, I can currently purchase the KME with diamond hones and base for $179 on sale, whereas, as far as I can tell, the Hapstone RS system, without stones is $199. No biggie, EXCEPT that the Hapstone 6 diamond hone set is another $399. They do offer other types of stones for less and others for considerably more. So, I can buy a very useable, USA made knife sharpening system, with really good diamond stone included for $179, or spend almost three times the money for a few nice conveniences... Now sure, for the knife "pro" that uses their system daily, and where those conveniences are important, I get it. But, for the average Joe that needs to touch up a blade on occasion and needs a cost effective and efficient way of doing so... Well, you get my point. Perhaps more to the point, maybe the owners of KME should take your constructive criticism, and consider addressing a few of your niggles. Especially since quite a few of them should be simple fixes that really shouldn't increase production cost significantly. And hell! They can keep the "Classic" version, and just add an updated version to their options if that makes marketing and financial sense. Growing and improving is always a more sustainable business model rather than resting on the laurels of past success, after all. For me and my needs though, I'll be ordering the KME before the sale ends!
