KME Sharpeners Lapping Film Kit How to Video

I got the basic KME kit with the base and just ordered the 3 and 6 micron lapping films. Shabazz is using it this way and is able to get a mirror polish. After having used the sharpmaker and the Lansky, I have to say that the KME is light years better than either of them. Much more consistent results and so much easier to use.

Knife crazy is right. You got to be crazy to spend that kind of money on a system that will wear out quickly, when a quality $16, 12" diamond rod & a homemade strop with a $7 syringe of ultra fine diamond emulsion will get you perfect razor sharp edges. But hey, thats just me.

Late to the party but this vid has aged very well. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Shame that those grit equivalents were all completely wrong especially the 0.1 micron which is actually 250,000 grit

Do not ever go into the blade with lapping film. Look up scary sharp sharpening.

[@n0148813]

When you say you can use an upstroke when the blade gets smooth...if the blade is smooth to the grit of the take, wouldn’t that mean that you have already finished with that tape? I can’t imagine that these tapes are creating a burr. Thanks for the demo and explanations...UPDATED COMMENT - kindly disregard everything before I said “thanks for the demo and explanations”...I very much understand now. Thanks again!

Hi, please Tell me, ist polishing to mirrow only a optical thing, or holds the edge longer? Thanks Andreas

[@punchlinehybrid-9454]

Do I need the 9 micron or can I just skip to 6 and 3? Doesn’t seem like 1500 grit stone to 1800 lapping film isn’t much of a difference

I need your expertise

[@frankstallone3887]

Hey. Don’r know if you read comments this late, but would love to know if in your opinion you need all of the lapping films or if you can get by with just a couple? Thanks.

Thank you so much for all of these great videos, Matt. I’m brand new to sharpening and just ordered a KME kit with the full set of lapping films so I’m excited to start chasing that mirror.

I know a lot of these videos are kinda old, but I just wanted to thank you for making these. I've just ordered a kme, and these videos are an incredible resource!!!

[@daveeverett9341]

Great vid! I've been using a KME system for a year, now, and just got into the polishing tapes. Love the results, but your detail on the process here is most helpful.

Thinking of ordering some 3M psa lapping film sheets to cut myself for the Lansky since im cheap haha. 9, 5, 3, 1, and .3 microns. For $28 bucks it should make several strips per sheet and achieve similar results. Appreciate your videos! Great info!

[@KarmaFlight]

I am having great results too. Very satisfied with these tapes.

[@RunGun]

Great video can't wait for my lapping films to get here

[@DoingMoreKustoms]

DeanO sent me by to check out this kit. Thanks for sharing Bud, looks like a great kit. Subbed ya as well ;). ThumbZ UP !!!

[@devigil1973]

Thanks Matt, for the tutorial

[@kylestewart4444]

I’d definitely love to have that full set of wet stones but that’s a lot of money. Since I’m just getting started, I went for the basic kit, a base and the full lapping film kit. All of that was $340 so it’s definitely not cheap but the full set of wet stones on top of that would make it $600.
