1X30 inch Assorted Belt Kit with Super Strop Leather Honing Polishing Belt Buffing Compound Included

Good quality belts, very effective sharpening. I've gone thru our entire kitchen cutlery set a couple times now with these and am very pleased. The belt assortment allows for a quick 1 grit and strop for dressing for a knife with a generally good edge or, if needed, coarser grit start to establish an approprite geometry then refine. I would buy again.

I loved this kit. I bought it as my first kit for knife sharpening on a lovely harbor freight 1” belt grinder. These belts fit on there nicely. A variety of grits come in the kit. My favorite is a strop with some polishing compound. If you forget something just refer to the instructions that come with it. They tell you everything you need to know. Top notch performance and a smooth grind. Y’all stay sharp. Cheers!

Belts grind well and track smoothly. The strop is smooth and of even thickness, works well. If it last for a while I’ll reorder the same one.

Read all - I ordered this set for my Harbor Freight (Central Mach.) 1x30 sander and all abrasive belts work very well and have held up to the sanding/sharpening I've done with them so far. I did experience some distortion of the leather stroping belt, however....So - I contacted Pro Sharpening Supply through my Amazon messaging and discussed the issue with an extremely helpful and pleasant fellah by the name of Jesse C. He informed me that the leather strop belt is made of natural material & thus can be subject to some occasional distortion. He assured me that Pro Sharpening Supply stands by their products and backs them up and they would be sending out a replacement strop immediately - free of charge - to boot! I am so very thrilled to be a customer of such an engaging and helpful company like Pro Sharpening Supply who honor their customers and back up their products. This day in age - such a company is becoming more and more difficult to find. I wish Amazon gave me a way to rate that part. I'd give 5 stars all the way. I will be recommending Jesse C. And Pro Sharpening Supply to all those I encounter who are in need of their products. Thanks again!

So, I'm typically the type to send my knives off to a mail in sharpening service. I know little to nothing about putting a good edge on a knife. I recently went to Gatlinburg Tennessee and found a knife shop (Viking Blade Supply) where I took a class on knife making. It got me interested enough to try my hand at making a knife, so I bought some grinders and a blank and started at it. I wanted my first knife to have a great edge, but again, no clue how up to this point. So I started watching the tube and after a few videos and some calls to the knife shop I started on the edge to my new knife. I had picked up the HF 1x30 with the angle guides and found this sharpening belt kit to add to it. I followed the instructions, progressed through the grits, and finished with the strop for a burr free mirror polish on the edge. MY GOD! I clean shaved half my hand with a single pass! I couldn't believe I got a blade that sharp (and on the first attempt at that)! I'm sure I can improve on my technique, and improve my edges with time, but so far I'm more than impressed! I can't say enough good about this kit, especially for the price. I paid twice that to have a few knives sharpened with the mail in service and they weren't as sharp as my homemade. Will definitely be re-upping when these belts wear out.

I've tried oil stones, lansky sharpeners, japanese water stones, etc. I could get very sharp knives with the water stones, but it took a very long time. This set showed up, started with the coarsest belt on my Delta 1x30 sander. two to three passes each side of the knife, then changed to a finer belt; worked my way up to 1000 grit. Ended with the leather. Incredibly sharp knife with a total time of about 5 minutes. Only thing to note is that the leather was a really tight fit on the sander. I had to loosen the tension wheel as far as it would go, then slowly work the belt on. Once on though, it tracked fine. I can't say anything yet to longevity or durability as I've only sharpened 3 knives so far. Overall highly recommended, sharp knives in no time!

For those who can't shell out thousands for a big machine but still want to have the flexibility to do some of the same stuff these belts really help. Especially for finishing where the high horsepower isn't essential they are a great product. If you have a basic machine the leather might be a bit tight at first but given a little hand start help mine broke in after a few sessions on it. I have a 2x72 and a few other big grinders but I like the 1" smaller belts for getting into tight areas and sharpening things like karambits, plus on the underpowered machine you aren't as worried about on wrong move grinding a huge chunk away. I'm not a fan of high polish blades on EDC knives but if you have a few fancy knives you want with a mirror edge these belts will get you there, I have 2 sets so I can have a white rouge and a green. Hope this helps

The belts are pretty good! I keep them cleaned and they have worked well. My only gripe is the abrasive they sent with it. HARD AS A ROCK! when you try to add to your wheel or belt it just shatters! So, if you buy the belts you may want to buy some other abrasive to go with it.
