2x72” EdgeCore Premium Ceramic Grinding Belts
Thanks to advanced abrasive technology, our newest ceramic material delivers maximum cut rate, longevity, and cooler grinding temps. Ideal for high pressure grinding, EdgeCore ceramic micro-fractures during use, continuously revealing fresh abrasive grain. Its versatility makes it a great choice for knife makers and blacksmiths. These belts work great for stock removal, blade profiling, and blade sharpening. EdgeCore ceramic belts are also beneficial for welders, or anyone working with metals.

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.
What Grinders Will These Belts Fit?
Our 2x72 ceramic belts will fit any 2x72 belt grinder. Common 2x72 belt grinders include the AmeriBrade 2x72 Grinder, Brodbeck Ironworks grinders, KMG Industrial Belt Grinder, Wilton Square Wheel Grinder, Hardcore Belt Grinder, Black Fox One, Black Fox Pro, Bob Dozier Grinder, Bader Bill, and Reeder Grinders. Our premium ceramic knife making belts will fit any of these grinders and more.

I couldn't take a picture in action. The picture is of a Scottish dirk I made for a fellow Clan Farquarson member to be used in a ceremony as he's sworn into the Invercauld Highlanders by the Clan Chief in Braemar, Scotland in August.
Love that i get fast delivery and they last a long time
Love using Red Label Abrasives for working on my leather knife sheaths I make for my knives.
I’m new to Red Label abrasives, but so far, I find your belts to be as good, or in many cases, better than your competition! I will be ordering more!
Love these belts and the company. The customer service has been amazing. Thank you!!
Red Label ceramic 2x72 belts are all I use on my belt grinder for knife making, and handle shaping.
Being a fairly new knife maker, I've tried a number of brands in order to figure out what I like. Turns out red label wins hands down.
The product is always great, purchasing online is always easy and shipping is super fast.
Great belts at a fair price. Also from Michigan!!
Belts are durable and fairly smooth (as in joint provides minimal bump when using platen.)
I've tried so many other 2x72 belts and I always come back to Red Label. The Price, Quality and Service can't be beat!
By far the best belts for efficiently removing material. They work great on both metal and wood. All around great choice for any knife maker or artist
Thank you the great support! BB Custom Knives
Love these belts! They stick around my shop far too long because they just keep working. Fresh belts for heat treated blades, older belts for roughing out stock...I love 'em!
I like the longer lasting belts or the ones I can get more out of. Red label does a good job there.
Love your 2x72 ceramic belts. And customer service is great.
Great belts, use them for every project
Amazing belt! The best brand I found so far, belts cut fast and last for a while! Overall, I’d give it five stars!
After forming the blade with 80 grit this 120 grit refines the edge geometry prior to the final grinding with the 240 grit belt. The persistent sharpness prevents overheating of the blade.
These belts have great longevity, especially for the price!
Great products and easy ordering/delivery.
Red label are friends. They support my brother, 51 Bravo, and vets constantly. They are a family owned company and always are there to help.
I like these belts. They work very well and run nice and straight. I get them in a timely fashion. Employees are knowledgeable and good to work with.
Long lasting, and predictable performance. Hands down the best belts around!
your belts run true important to a knife maker

I have always used red label. Just bought them Amazon. Decided I would go to the source. Awesome product.
Been consistently pleased with your belts and feel that they are reasonably priced
Totally love all Red Label Products! Couldn’t have made this Champagne Sabre without them.
Red Label 2x72 belts can’t be beat. From the heavy grinding of making damascus to the detailed sanding of the finishing touches.
Love the reliability and longevity of the belts
My first Kukri was challenging, but working with Red Label 2x72 abrasive belts made for a great experience!
These belts cut consistently for a long time. I rough shape with 36, then straight to these to straighten and hand grind the bevels.
Need a great product thats long lasting while making my knifes and then sum, love the quick service, and easy ordering very happy customers.!!!!!!!
