Why Are Ceramic Belts The Best Belts For Knife Making?

Years ago, it used to be that zirconia was the best grain type for knife making. That is no longer the case. Ceramic belts cut faster than zirconia belts and last longer as well. Red Label’s Edgecore Ceramic belts take the ceramic advantage even further by evenly microfracturing during use to mitigate heat (even at high grinding speeds). Aluminum oxide and zirconia belts are still used for knife making today, but you’ll get better performance and value out of ceramic belts. No other belt will profile, bevel grind, edge sand, or sharpen better. 

Why Use 2” x 72” Sanding Belts?

If you already own a 2” x 72” belt grinder, you’d choose a 2” x 72” belt, because that’s the size that would fit your grinder. However, if you’re new to knife making and shopping for both a new grinder and belts to accompany the grinder, you may be curious to know why you might choose a 2” x 72” grinder. At Red Label Abrasives, we don’t particularly endorse any specific size of grinder. Great knives could come from a wide array of different grinders. Nevertheless, the great thing about 2” x 72” grinders is that they strike a nice balance between being large enough for intense grinding and stock removal while remaining small enough to easily perform fine, detail work. The 72” length also helps to reduce wear and heat build-up that smaller belts experience. 2x72 inch grinders also have more accessories available (rotary platens, surface grinding attachments, wheel attachments, etc.). It is for these reasons that 2x72 inch grinders and belts are the most common size used for knife making.
