Red Label Abrasives ReviewsSee store reviews

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.

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.

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!

I ordered my first set about a month ago, which consisted of rougher grits. The 36, 60, and 120s were so good, I went ahead and ordered the intermediate and fine grit "sets". These belts absolutely rip compared to the eBay special belts and several 3M belts I'd ordered before. I have 5 large knives on the same belts, and the cutting hasn't slowed down much if at all. I wish I'd found these years ago!

I love the Red Label edge core belts. I used the heavy grit for large stock removal. The belts help the piece stay cool and last through multiple projects. The 120 grit and higher help crisp up the bevels and shine up those lines. I highly recommend them to any knife maker.

Have only used 2 grits the 36 grit and the 120 grit. Am learning to be a Blacksmith, used these two grits to put bevels on the knives. I use Horse shoe Rasp for the knife, When I stretch out a Railroad Spike easy to grind a sharp end to make a pigtail meat turner.

I've been bladesmithing for a little over a year now. After a couple of months I upgraded to a 2x72 grinder. Ordered some Red Label belts off Amazon and the rest is history. I've given a few knives to friends and they ask what they can do to pay me back. I asked them to get me some grinding belts, preferably Red Label. A couple have given me other brands and they fall way short. Red Label for life!

These surface conditioning belts are amazing I was able to get an amazing finish on my knife in no time flat. A real game changer. I would recommend these for anyone making knives. You will not regret this purchase.

Pretty much just climbing out of amateur with the belt grinder so YMMV but these belts are the best I have used to date and give my keychains the finish I am looking for.

Tony , this is what I use your belts for, grind a bevel on the horse shoe rasp, and to help shape the tines on the fork, sharpen the end of the pig tail meat turner..

Just finished a Damascus knife I call The Elf (resembles elf shoe) and I am lovin these ceramic belts from red label! They are making grinding way easier and they last a long time! I will buy more!!

I can't say enough about these belts! They're awesome! I couldn't believe it when I saw the pile of metal dust adding up while using the 400 grit belt! A 400 grit belt that actually removes metal instead of just rubbing on it is mind blowing! My old aluminum oxide belts are in the trash and I never want to see one in my shop again!

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!

Made the mistake of spending too much money on cheap belts that never last. Red Label Abrasive belts are the only belts that will be on my grinder from here on out

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.

The 40 grit grinder belts really take off steel! My "grinder" is an old bench top belt sander that I inherited from my father, but these belts still work great.

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.

I shaped and beveled 9 AEB-L blade both pre and post heat treat with 36, 60, then 120 grit ceramic’s and the belts worked great! There is still life for that many more again.

I needed a leather strop for the Work Sharp KO edition with blade grinding attachment. Awesome results with the strop. I love it. Got the 5 pack from Red Label. Super fast shipping. Thanks!!

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

Red Label abrasive belts are all I use for my 2 x 72 belt grinder. They are great! I recommend Red Label belts to everyone who visits my blacksmith shop.

Use the belt for non-ferrous grinding in three different grits. These last a long time run much cooler than my other belts. Will buy every belt I can from these guys.

I am still waiting on my 2x72 grinder but I use your belts on my 2x48 and love them and tell people all the time to check you guys outthank you very much!!

Hands down the best belts I’ve ever used. I’ll never be famous enough to be sponsored by them but I’d proudly brag on Red Label belts all day long. They’re the best.

I love the zirconia belts...I do think I'll order the ceramic this time though..from what I hear that's the best ones out there..looking forward to doing a lot more business with you guys.

When I put a new belt on my grinder, when I put the steel against it the spark shower lights up my shop. I can normally grind two medium sized knives on one belt. And there's still usability for light touch up grinding after that.

Had some big cleavers to make which required a lot of stock removal on some 3V. Very happy with the removal rate, heat level, and lifespan of the zirconia 40 grits for this. Have also used the 80's and 120's a bit but haven't wore any of those out yet. I'll be ordering some more in the 36 grit.

The scalloped belts are a real game changer! They allow for the easy shaping of the various contours in handle materials without the worry of the belt edge cutting into the material. The variety pack gives you one of each of the popular and most used grits. I added the 1" wide scalloped belts to help me get into the smaller curved areas of my knife handles. If you haven't tried these yet, I highly recommend that you do! Jeff Second Life Knives

Air Wheel buffing system is an incredible Game Changer. What used to take many hours of hand sanding, now takes “Minutes”. Saving time & getting Superior results is just a “Double Win” 😎👍

I needed some fine grit belts to complete a straight razor I was making. I’m still getting used to my 2X72 grinder and destroyed the only fine grit belt I had. This set offers a good value and did what I needed it to.

When trying to find the right size and grit belt for my machine, Mike was SO helpful. He was able to get back to me and set me up with everything I needed. You guys rock!

These belts are a game changer! After fighting with cheap belts that wear out and burn material, I finally upgraded to Edgecore and what a difference! They made short work of profiling the blade and handle of a 14" chef's knife without overheating, even on a fixed-speed 2x42 grinder. I am definitely a Red Label fan now.

After having a conversation with Red Label I switched to them and I have yet to have any issues with smooth tracking or longevity. The run smooth and leave a great finish.

First shot at roughing in a knife. The belts were fantastic. 36 grit is a bit more aggressive than I need so I’m going back in and getting some additional ones. Would highly recommend these abrasive belts
