Red Label Abrasives ReviewsSee store reviews

My grit progression as a new maker is always changing. Recently I have been trying out all of the surface conditioning belts. They do a great job. The corse is great for removing rust on blade. All of the conditioning belts leave great surface finishes.

I’ve been using Red Label grinding belts for about a year or two now, and they are honestly some of the best I’ve used. And being from California it’s difficult to find any blacksmith shops or even get some thing simple and specific like the grinding belts Red Label sells. I’d highly recommend you buy their belts!

I have not had any experience with belt grinders before, especially with anything as abrasive as an 80 grit media. However, I was pleased with the ability of these belts to produce a clean grind and remove stock quickly and effectively. I will be ordering from Red Label again for my 1x42" grinding belts for future knifemaking projects!

New to this business , no a pro at grinding , but Once belt centered on plate , the 1000 grit worked Beautiful, taking out all scratches let over from 400 grit..going to order more

I've been using Red Label belts for a couple of years now and am very satisfied with the aggressive grind of the course grits and the versatility of the finer grit belts.

Red lable has some off the best belt on the market and the price is great always a day early I'm going to keep buying from them as long as I'm making knifes or needing any sand belts thanks

I have a full time job but I also make 300+ knives and sheaths per year. Red Label ceramics 2”x72” belts enable me to make my the best bevels. Thank you, Red Label! Sam Cast

Just bought the belt grinder and Red Label belts. So far so good. They quickly remove metal beyond my expectations. We'll have to wait to see how long they last.

My husband is the knife maker. I am just sorting through the belts and putting them in order for him to use on the grinders. Thank you very much- we love your belts.

Love these belts. The 80 grit ceramic is a beast and sets the secondary bevel quickly. The other belts fill in the missing grits for my worksharp tool. Makes my sharpening business a breeze. I highly recommend these belts.

Hand sanding is a necessity for custom knife-makers set on creating a beautiful tool. I want a paper that maintains it's edge, doesn't load up, and works consistently...at a great price because I use a lot of it. This product performs🤘

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 2 x 42 36grit belts make my Itty bitty Craftsman 2 x 42 feel much more powerful. I went through my first belt in a day, and basically knocked out 5 neck knives from HARDENED files, these belts also RIP right through hardened sawblades and eat aluminum for breakfast. For the longest time I thought all belts were created equal. It was on the advise of my Weld tech teacher that I try Red Label. When my other 4 belts wear put I will be buying more. RJ

Have used other 120 grit ceramic belts that I did not really like the way they performed. Love the way these belts grind, makes it easy to make clean bevels when cleaning up hollow grinds. Will but again.

My Grand Dad’s old Craftsman belt sander still works great. Just needed some new belts. They are a size 3x27 which are hard to come by. Thanks to you’re company I now have a belt sander ready to go to work again.

I used red label 5” disc’s to polish my headlights and they worked great. 400, 800, 1000, 2000 then clear coat. took all the yellow and haze out. before light on the left and after on the right.

Great belts, inexpensive and American made! The cut and hog off material very well. I’ve used other belts, that cost a little more but red label, these guys hold up to their name

I always use a fresh belt to grind bevels but afterwards i reuse the same belt to profile many blades or shape handles when i really need to remove a lot of material. Totally recommend these awesome belts from this awesome company 👍

I bought these along with the other grit kits and they all work amazingly! They don’t wear out quickly and they are easily cleaned too! My blades look 3x better I swear it’s not just me 😂

With these ceramic belts my grinding time has been greatly reduced! So far they’re holding up quite well on the various materials I’ve been grinding...will definitely be using Red Label from now on!

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!

Believe it or not the belt in the picture has ground 10 carving knives and shows almost zero wear. These are the best ceramic belts by far. I will continue to buy from Red Label.

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.

Tried out the edgecore this time and just like all your belts they are amazing! Haven’t used them that long yet so we will see how long they hold up but from what I’ve done so far I can tell that will be a while!

It's a great looking hat with a comfortable fit. It does seem to be slightly more shallow than some hats I have, but it is still a good fit and a great all arounder

These belts are no joke, they will remove metal like you wouldn’t believe. I literally reduced my production time by at least 75% by using the knife makers belts. Seriously, buy them. You will not regret it.

This is the best buffing/polishing system I have found to date! Follow the directions to the "T" and you to can achieve a truly liquid polish! Look no further!

Bought some 36 and 80 grit belts and then got into a fight with it. Knuckles are worse for wear, but I showed them whose boss. Even used them to take a file into what is supposed to be a knife, though the jury is still out. Excited to try some ceramic belts next. And improve my technique so my bevels don’t look like butt.

Love these belts. Good assortment of grit for the knife maker. Fairly priced and seem very durable with a good useful life. I have used these belts for both grinding carbon steel and wood with good result.

These are by far the best 1x30 belts I’ve ever purchased. They last longer and makes stock removal a breeze. I have a Delta sander and tracking adjustments are minuscule when I change belts.

At our shop in Frankenmuth, MI we run grinders with limited attachments. These flexible 180 ceramic belts allow us to create contours that we previously struggled with. Great for getting into finger wells and handle curves!

I was looking for a leather strop for my 2 x 72 belt grinder and found these. They are well priced so I gave them a try and was pleased with the result. They are less expensive then leather and come with polishing compound. I have only used them on a few knives so I do not know how long they will last, but so far I am very pleased.

Use the matador wet sandpaper to get a flawless finish on acrylic pens. Red label has extremely fast shipping and we’re very helpful when I needed to talk to someone.

I do research, your name comes up. I take a stab and buy some 1x30 belts when that was my MAIN sander... the effects were beyond words. I still have belts I bought before I bought yours because they just gather dust now. A used, "worn out", belt from Red Label still outperforms any cheapo belt I bought before. I grind a LOT of rusty and rough metals so I know what longevity is.

The 2 x 72 Inch EdgeCore Premium Ceramic Grinding Belts hold up great! Grinding out a couple small knives in an afternoon was a breeze and these belts made all the difference!

Use the belts to clean up the end grain and live edges on slabs like the one in the picture. Getting a much better finish with these belts, and as a added bonus, they last longer.

Have not been doing this long but sure do love it. It is so much more fun when you have the right paper to get to the finish you want

Excellent belts. Track well, cut well, seem to have a good life span. I was also pleased with the 240 grit belt with the flexible backing. Had never used one before and they are quite handy.

Red label belts are great. They shred material quick and when they dull down you can just flip them because of the tape seam and it's like you have a brand new belt.

Love the new belts! They work great for the application that I use them for, which is knife making!! Very happy with my purchase. They last a long time and I have never had one break on me before
