Love the kme the best system I have had yet. Great system...

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for showing this.

OK, I did read in the warranty that all the parts are covered under normal wear and tear and will be replaced free. Mine system is fine. I got the oiling tip from Dean I.

Surely releasing pressure on the spring whilst rotating would greatly reduce wear on that plate too? Still very good tip oiling it... I expect many (including me) wouldn't think to oil that. It's not like a hinge or pivot that you'd expect to oil, but it's still a moving part! Cheers.

I just got my KME. The instructions said to lubricate this area. I used a little bit of high quality bearing grease. I also pull back on the spring when I rotate the clamp to keep the indents from prematurely wearing out.

just happen 2 run across this..if u have a belt sander u can prolong the plate a little longer..Atleast til you get another..👍 keep up the good work..

8/2022 and it clearly says in the user guide to oil that location. Was it not in there in the past?

ha ha after seeing that post on FB I was just waiting for you to make a video about it. thanks!

Also by pressing in on the end with the spring it will also help along with the oil.

Thanks for informative vid, just started using the KME and am finding it an excellent sharpener. I live in the UK and bought a KME from a British knife agent. The problem is they only stock basics and PO from USA is really pricey if I want to order from KME direct for the usual manicness of knife guys when it comes to MORE. L,O,L,

i am from austria.

Nice tip Matt

Great video

next time throw a white sheet on your table,will help with the contrast......great video.....very informative.

Red & Tacky, One time baby!

Is the KME sharpening system your favorite system over the others or are their just pros and cons to each? I am looking for a system to do kitchen knives and EDC blades. Nothing out of the ordinary knife wise. Would you recommend the KME or another system for that application?? Thx in advance! Great videos!

A couple of drops of oil & little common sense can make a big difference with wear issues. Good video.

Good information

When you're rotating a knife from side to side while sharpening, are we supposed to be depressing the spring each time or is it okay to just rotate from the jaws and let the detents/nipples do their thing?

hey brother where can i get one of those knobs you use on your kme rod handle
