This is my first knife, and the picture is after I did my first profiling with the 36-grit ceramic in the kit. It did a great job, and I'm looking forward to bevel grinding tomorrow.
Red Label’s knife grinding and sharpening kits are built specifically for knife makers! These kits are a great way to decide which grit progression works for you before committing to larger quantities.
The belts feature resin over resin bonding. They are easy to set up, because our precision engineered bi-directional tape joints allow belts to RUN IN EITHER DIRECTION (you can disregard the arrows on the backing). Our anti-clogging stearate delivers an even finish and cooler grinding temperatures. You'll have a hard time finding better knife making sandpaper. These 1x30 '' sanding belts are shipped factory direct and built in the USA by Red Label Abrasives. To ensure your satisfaction, we also offer a money back guarantee.

What Applications Do These Knife Making Belts Work Best For?
Our sanding belts are designed to be versatile and can be used to sand a wide variety of different materials. Our industrial quality sanding belts are perfect for non ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, titanium, nickel) and ferrous metals (steel, stainless steel, pig iron, alloys, hardened steel, etc.).
The sandpaper belts are also great for dense and hard woods. Use the sandpaper belts for stock removal, grinding of welds, shaping, cutting, sharpening, honing and blending metals.
What Benefits Do Flexible Sanding Belts Provide?
Red Label Abrasives offers flexible belts as part of our flexible ceramic grit pack. If you’ve never used flex belts before, you may be wondering why you’d use them and when they can be useful. As the name implies, flexible belts are designed to flex with use. The belt's ability to bend makes it easier to sand curved surfaces with a uniform finish. Flex belts are used when slack grinding (grinding without a platen or contact wheel). Flexible belts are especially useful when grinding curves that extend outward (convex curves).

Good quality belts, fair pricing, always able to supply what I need and shipped well packed within a reasonable time frame.
My recent hobby is making fixed blades .My friend had most of the equipment needed to get me hooked.Then I bought a 1x30 machine, the store bought belts just did not works as well as I expected. I watch YouTube videos of this craft and was now understanding, all belts are not created equal. So I have been using Red Abrasive belts since. 5 stars , service, price and fast shipping. Now go make something.

These things are great for knife making. First nice belts I've tried on my harbor freight 1"x30". Speeds up the knife making process.
These belts elevated the quality of my knife handles which get rave reviews!
Having a belt that not only cuts great but is durable is worth its weight in gold! I have tried several different brands and none compare to these belts! I’ve yet to find anything I don’t love about them!
I’ve struggled for awhile to find belts that hold up to the kind of work I do. From shaping contoured parts to polishing small parts most belts just don’t cut it but these do! The Knifemakers assortment is a great selection of everything I need in one easy to order package! I’ll never use another brand again!
It's awsome
This is my first completed knife build. As I was looking for grinder belts I came across your website. I have been very pleased with the results of the ceramic and AO belts I purchased.
I’ve already ground 2 knife blades and the belts work wonderfully
Once I found out that Dave Baker and Ben Abbott use your belts, I had to try them. I just finished modifying my Rikon 50-161VS and I had to make sure I had a fresh Red Label 120 belt and 400 disc as soon as I fired it up.
Great belts!
Those 1 x 30 coarse belts are so durable and long lasting! They were just what I needed to finish up this hunter by the deadline I had. It now will only be Red Label Abrasives in my shop for my knife work. ~CJ~
These belts work great for bevel grinding and handle shaping !!
I love the ceramic belts, they really make quick work of my profiling, and don't heat up the steel that much. The ceramics are my go to belts for profiling and stock removal.
Red labels ceramic edgecore belts are a game changer, wether you have a pro grinder or a 1X30. They’ve outlasted and outperformed every other belt I’ve tried.
Love the edge core coarse sanding belts. They are excellent for removing metal fast when knife making
The new ceramic belts made grinding so much faster and cleaner. I really have been happy with their performance on my little 1x30.
Red Label helps me make the most out of my little 1x30 grinder
Great belts that really helped speed up the profiling of my recent knives. I love the ceramic belts.
I like the red label belts they work good and last along time I use them on on all my belt grinders including my Reeder 2x72 belt grinder and my 2x36” and my 1x30 for sharpening my blades. Excellent Belts.
These belt work great and last very long, I have made six knives so far with the same belts and there is still plenty of life left in them. Highly recommend these belts, I will be purchasing more in different grits
I’m a beginner bladesmith still rockin’ a 1x30 belt grinder right now til I can upgrade to a 2x72, but these 1x30 belts from red label abrasives sure do make it easier to work with! The grinding time was reduced significantly with their selection of coarse belts and I was able to get way cleaner plunge and grind lines. Highly recommend these if you are still using a 1x30!
I use all belts provided by red label abrasives! The product ships fast and the belt quality is consistent.

Knife making belts from Red Label Abrasives are a must-have for any metalworker. Knives, axes, or anything else will look way cooler after a run through these belts!
I made this knife using these amazing belts!
I have tried many products on the market. None of them come close to the quality of Red Label. Thank you guys for making a truly awesome product that I can stand behind !
I bought the fine grit variety pack and man did it make a difference. The belts seem to hold up a lot longer than my others and you can just feel the difference in quality. I got this knife almost to a mirror finish and I kindof feel like I cheated. I'm actually about to make another order right now using my discount code you guys gave me! Thanks a lot
I’m a beginner knife maker , learning by trial and error, your belts for knife making are a game changer for a maker like me , great product! Thx red label !
prompt service and great products
So far I am still using the same belts, have worked on multiple projects and they are still going strong.
So far so good!! Actually saw your logo in the background of a talented knife makers video I was watching. Can’t wait for the ultra fine pack to get back into stock.
Belts came quick and worked beautifully. Nicely made and sturdy to use
Good grade,
Fast shipping. Great product. Thank you!
I tried Red Label ceramic flex belts for knife making and I'm impressed already. Just like they said in the videos, they are the way to go for knife making. I can't wait to try the other ones!
I recently purchased a Vevor 1" x 30" belt grinder and found Red Label Abrasives online. I was very impressed with the quality and selection, specifically the 1” x 30” Knife Makers Sanding Belt Assortment Kit. While I previously used worn 60-grit belts for fine work, your belts allow me to achieve a perfectly smooth, polished finish across a variety of grits. I enjoyed the grinder and your belt selection so much that I decided to convert my machine to run 2" wide belts. I was pleased to find 2" x 30 1/2" belts on your website and placed an order. Your shipping was so efficient that the belts have already arrived before I could even finish the conversion! Thank you for the excellent products and fast service. Best regards, George
Fast free delivery ,belts appear to be high quality,would have liked to be able to pick my own assortment but otherwise very satisfied
