Red Label Abrasives ReviewsSee store reviews

These belts moved metal so fast. They’re making grinding my first knife a dream and after an hour of grinding the belt still has a ton of life left. Awesome stuff

I really like the ceramic 40 grit belts. I ground bevels on 3 knives with a single belt and it's still going strong. Profiling another knife with it currently, this is aeb-l stainless steel.

I am very happy with the conditioning belts from Red Label. When I use them in progression, they leave a nice satin finish and help me speed up the finishing process!

My uncle recommended using this paper and Red Label. This is my first knife I ever made. Used Matador 220-2000. It’s the best sand paper I have ever used.

I recently upgraded to a 2x72 grinder and before it even arrived I made sure I had some red label ceramic belts ready to put on. They last much longer than other belts I have used and cut very fast. They also seem to reduce heat buildup.

This sandpaper is top notch, and at a much better price than competitors, which charge over double! I specifically use this with my radius dish making acoustic guitars, and ukuleles. Cuts clean, and lasts a long time. Will be coming back for more! Thanks, Daryl deHoutwinkel

I have consistent good results using Red Label belts. This includes the ceramic, silicon and conditioning belts. My most recent purchase was for the fine grade conditioning belts. They do a fantastic job of cleaning up the finish of my blades. I am very satisfied. I will be back.

SO much better than the Worksharp equivalent! The course grit cuts fast and lasts a long time! I have them for my 1x18, 1x30, hopefully upgrading to a 2x72 soon.

When I received my order from you the 36 grit paper it is excellent it really tore in to the wood meaning that it cut it good with no splinters. Can't wait to try it on my next knife blade.

Just started doing knives a year or so ago and I love your belts and the price they last great and keep cutting the flex belts are great to they don't try to curl up when you hang them up after using

Need to get approximately 850 sq ft of self milled maple to parallel thickness for ceiling in new shop/garage. Using 36 grit and very happy with results and amount of boards processed. Will be going with 80 then 120 to finish next your after 2nd year of drying.

I have been buying this paper for quite a while. We use it in a production environment and it holds up well. Doesn't load up, doesn't stretch much, and sands well. I've probably used at least 50 rolls of this stuff and will continue to buy. I think it's as good if not better than the Jet paper made by Klingspor at a better price. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

I am a sharpener of hair salon scissors. They are made of some of the hardest metals, VG10, ATS314 and other Japanese metal recipes. These are same steels used for sushi chef knives. I can sharpen almost twice as many scissors on blue discs than any other I have used. I have been sharpening for 30 years.

Love working with these belts. They work better than the competition. Long life and fast grinding with a range if steels from cpm3v to damascus and San mai. Will definitely be purchasing again.

Used to use one for your competitors. Switched to you because I was tired getting so many wobbly belts. I use your flexible belts for metal grinding as well as finishing the handles - Wood, carbon fiber, g10, micarta etc. The belts are excellent. I also will take a flexible belt and cut it, then use it to hand-sand blades if I need a more precise finish. The fabric backing holds up better than standard paper backed sand paper.

I have been using different wheels and buffing compounds for a while and this kit is one one the best I have used yet. Thanks again for the fast shipping Richard

The Ceramic 2” x72” belts allow me to shred material when I need to and make delicate angles safely when making complex designs. I will be adding YouTube vids soon to share with all.

These flap discs are great. Very helpful on this ulu, and have use it on other items as well. I expect to keep a few of these around at all times.

After retirement I took up forging Damascus knife blades as a hobby. Once I tried ceramic belts I will not go back to cheap Aluminum Oxide belts for metal working. I like Red Label ceramic belts, they cut fast and last through a lot of heavy grinding on my knife builds. Red Label is my go to for ceramic grinding belts.

When it’s time to ruff shape handles these are the bad boys I turn to. Highly recommend you use the grease stick first to keep build up making the belts last a lot longer.

All my belts I have used have been Red Label and I have not had any issues. The belts last and make quick work with my blades that I am finishing.

These belts cut steel like butter and have a a lot of life in them. Shipping was fast and free as well! Red label is my new go to abrasive company!

Edge Core belts cut fast when they're brand new, but even once they start to get "worn" they cut fast enough and for a good long time. I'm able to get through several small knives with them, and even a couple bigger knives at times. Approved!

The Cubitron II belts are amazing! I grind several knives a week in my custom knife shop. These are by far the best I have used. Even the 120 grit removed metal so fast I had to slow down. The first belt has ground six blades so far and still has at least four to six more before it gets replaced. Best belt for the buck I’ve run across!

Thanks for a great belt. They hold up for extended use. I’m excited to find my new belts for the shop! Brian Milinski Maker Meadows Place, TX www.mrknives.com @milinskiknives (insta)

My package finally arrived & I immediately opened it up & put an 80 grit belt on my sander. I was working on some black walnut at the time (hard as steel). The sanding paper did a great job. I have been very happy with all the Red Label grits I have used - and they have them in stock!!

Red Label 2x72 24 grit belts get your grind in real quick! Speeds up my grind time exponentially, gives me more time to get these orders out! Great product, thanks Red Label! Forged in Fire finalist season 7-27 Ikakalaka, Hix Hacks

I installed the sanding belt onto my Wilton 4200 bench sander - works great!! This is my second or maybe third time ordering from Red Label. I like utilizing Red Label Abrasives, they hold up well and perform awesome, and I appreciate the fact that they are located right here in Michigan!

Gutted and rebuilt a 20’ Privateer boat, a lot of fiberglass and wood. These belts are excellent, best I’ve used and best price. Easy to clean with sanding cleaner tool. They eat up fiberglass easily and wood as well. Very durable.

So much easier to make things shine better then hand sanding any day had a hard time finding 4x36 belts with grit thi as high love them and will be re ordering!!!

Applied 12" disc on the Wilton 4200 Sander. I like utilizing Red Label Abrasives, they hold up well and perform awesome, and I appreciate the fact that they are located right here in Michigan!

Been in the custom knife making business since 2008 full time. As all custom knife makers know that buying belts can be expensive, which cuts into our overall profit. I found out about Red Label Abrasives on Instagram. So I went to their website and noticed the economical pricing. Decided to give them a chance. Very Satisfied not only with the product as well as Customer Service. I will be ordering more in the near future. Sincerely Brian Thomas - Blood Bone Knives Louisville Kentucky

I used the 120 grit with my hand held belt sander (3 x 21 inch). Used it on black walnut and it did great. I like it better than some name brand I bought at the big box stores. In addition, Red Label Abrasives has them in stock!!

I have had issues with other brands sanding belts bouncing on the joints, and belt failure, red label XA 345 runs smooth and gives a very good finish. (I have been using it on end grain mahogany and Sapele.)

I installed the sanding belt onto my Palmgren bench sander. This is my second or maybe third time ordering from Red Label. I like utilizing Red Label Abrasives, they hold up well and perform awesome, and I appreciate the fact that they are located right here in Michigan!

These are a game changer. They make surface finishing SOOOOOOOO much easier and faster and give your knife a beautifully uniform satin finish. I might not have to hand sand anymore.

These ceramic belts are awesome! I was able to get all these knives roughed out with just 1 - 36grit using my little HF 1x30 sander. I will definitely be ordering these again.

Your ceramic belts last a lot longer than the orange brand. It cuts a lot longer and the aluminum oxide belts are awesome as well. Makes my job a lot easier.

Darn good belts. I managed to shape the handle of my first knife pretty seamlessly with the 80 grit ceramic belt, I then refined the finish by hand with sandpaper, but the belts did what they had to do very effectively. I also put the final edge on the knife with my RLA belts... sadly, I was using old worn belt to profile the grind and paid dearly for my impatience. For Knife #2 it's going to be 100% with red label belts!
