Very nice belts! Would’ve never thought to buy the grease, but it makes the belts work much better. Just starting smithing and pictured above is my first knife 90% done!
DARREN S.
My first 2 x 72. Amazed at the power of this machine and these belts! I’ve used Combat Abrasives before when I had a 1 x 30. Loved those belts. Very quick material removal! Will buy Combat Abrasives again!!!!
Thanks Combat!

Great product, eats metal like nothing else

Just hollow ground 12 blades with the starter package sequence. 36, 60, 80, 120. (Annealed 3/16” 15n20.)
The 36 is mostly shot, the 60 is useable but getting inconsistent, the 80 is good, and the 120 is still like new.
My evaluation of their condition after doing 12 grinds is based on handholding against my 14” contact wheel on my lower (fixed) speed 2x72. I use the resistance of the grit to hold consistent position on the wheel.
36 lost quite a bit of grit on initial contact, but then cut great through about blade 10. By blade 12 it was difficult to hold steady.
Consistent progression like that on the 60, 80, then to the 120 grit, which is still rock steady after finishing all 12.
I’d say if you double your number of 36’s in the starter pack, they’ll wear out about the same time.
Overall, very good belts. Not magic. But I’m 12 blades in and I’ve still got life in the first set!
I’ll take that any day!
Will buy again!

Great products, great prices.

The best grinding g belts I've ever used!

These belts are fantastic! They don’t stop cutting for a long, long time and they’re really durable. My shop gets up to 100+ degrees in the summer and close to 0 in the winter, and these belts just powered through with no issues. Also, more on the company than the belts, but I had an issue with the last batch of belts that I got and they replaced them, no questions asked. In my opinion, these are just about the best belts you can get anywhere, and I’m not buying anything else!
john B.
your belts arrived in great condition& prompt...havent got the grinder yet but im sure they will perform well thanks

I've been using 3m Cubitron belts for a very long time...since they were introduced and found them to be the best to remove metal quickly. Unfortunately, they don't last as long as I would like due to the rapid glazing of the grit in the course grits. Now I have found belts that significantly out perform the 3m's. I am extremely happy and will continue to use the Combat belts. John Craft

Fantastic belts! I’ve used them and used them and used them and they just don’t quit. I’ve had this batch for almost a year and they’ve made tons of knives. When they’re sharp they’re amazing, and they stay sharp for a really, really long time. When they’re not sharp, you can almost just use them as the next grit up! Excellent!

This is truly an incredible product, the sanding belt is my new favorite thing to use in the office. Thank you.
James D.

Ricky S.
Just finished a 2x72 grinder build … haven’t had the chance to use the belts yet but looking forward to trying it . Fast delivery even to Alaska. More to come !
Paul K.
As expected, great belts for grinding.
Tracy M.
Really like these belts. They do last as long as advertised. Haven't had one break yet. The ceramic belts actually work well on hardened steels such as s35vn and various other stainless steels. Still don't know if I understand the belt wax principle. Wish someone could give me a clear explanation. Highly recommend the belts anyway!
David L.
Very good product
Thanks guys

Shredder is an accurate name!

I’ve been using Combat Abrasives pretty much exclusively for about a year or so. If you’re an experienced knife maker you know this, but for those new to it, belts are one of the most important things in your shop. Whether you’re a forge guy or stock removal specialist, about 80% of the work in making a knife is done at the grinder. The quality of your belts matters. A lot.
Combat Abrasives are the best belts I’ve ever used. Their ceramic shredders are outstanding. They make the work of profiling and establishing the bevels go quickly, they don’t load up, they last a long time and run cool. I’ve also used their higher grit belts up to 600, and the structured abrasives, blending belts and scalloped edge belts for handle work. They’re all great - indispensable, really. Service is fast and the prices are more than fair. Do yourself a big favor and try Combat. You won’t be sorry.
Matt D.
These belts are fantastic no matter the job, from bulk removal of wood or steel they always come through.
George T.
Everything was as ordered . Great product and super service .

These belts are far and beyond my favorite. Great for stock removal and long lasting!
Wayne M.
I like the stiff belt for cutting bevels. helps maintain a crisp line on a hardened blade. At least for me anyway.
Canaan B.
Really helps define profile after forging.
Chris M.
Really awesome products they work amazing
Jeff M.
Good product, fast shipping.
Patrick T.
Started with 36 grit shredder and worked my way up to 600 grit. Took about two hours. Then I hand polished to 1200 grit. This is my first Damascus blade. Could not have done it with out the shredder belts.

Robert H.
Fantastic customer service and the best belts I’ve used. Couldn’t recommend more.
Mark A.
Order process is seamless. Delivery on time as always. Product is great! But what is the grease stick used for?
Randy W.
I learned of Combat Abrasives through John Switzer at Black Bear Forge. He spoke very highly of the product line, so I decided to try them. I have been very pleased, not only with the product (2"x72" belts), but the customer service has also been great. Thank you Randy
Brad K.

Combat Abrasives Shredder belts EAT metal like no other belts on the market hands down! I come from the aerospace pans have used many top brand abrasives but these are the absolute best!
Cynthia B.
I bought this sanding kit for my son, who is a knife maker at "Holbert Iron Works Llc" He tells me that he is completely pleased with their performance, and will be purchasing more from you.
I had called to check on the order, and was greater by a friendly knowledgeable human without first incurring an automated answering system. Thank you so much, it was money well spent!!~*

brian e.
First time using combat belts! I ordered the 36-120 grit package.
The knife above was done using these belts! Made quick and easy work of it. I’m very pleased and will be using them for sure!
Joe M.
Awesome belts, worth every penny and more... super glad to support a great American company giving us the best product!
William N.
Belts are great getting them a bit on the slow side.
August P.
I have only been knifemaking for 3 years and have used Combat Abrasives Ceramic Shredder belts from the beginning. They are a great bang for the buck and last a long time. I use the 120 grit the most as I grind my blades to the 120 level then do my heat treat. Once I go back to the grinder I use the 120 to clean up and progress from there. I have tried other companies and belts but to me these are the best and at a very good value.
Michael T.
Shredder belts have good durability for the money.
KENNETH G.
Arrived quickly and solidly packeged!
Daniel L.
So far these belts do not disappoint. They cut great and Sean like the last a while. Can’t wait to really put them through their paces
Ross J.
A friend wanted his lawn mower blades sharpened on the day I received my belts. Compared to the previous 36 grit belts I have used these seemed to cut faster and didn't have an audible seam like my last belts.
Tracy M.
I have only limited use so far but the shredder ceramic belts seem to last forever. They work well with stock removal and grinding off forge scale with ease.
Robert B.
I had been using Klingspor ceramic belts in the past but they never seemed to cut very well and would get full quickly. Not so with these Combat Abrasives shredder belts. I’m converted!
Eric L.
Nice selection, great quality, nice price!
I am planning on getting some of the surface conditioning belts in the near future!
Will M.
Love the way these belts chew through steal.
Christian A.
Ceramics absolutely made a difference! The shredder package is exactly what I needed. I feel like I got more grinding done in a shorter time span with less effort...pretty amazing!
David D.
very good belts they do everything they say.
Leonard S.
Absolutely the best way to purchase a selection of belts and at the best price!
Steve T.
Love these belts did all the grinding on this 1084 recurve clad in low layer Damascus
Derrick C.
The combination of belts in this kit was perfect for me. They hold up great, and the 36 grit just hogs on stock removal. Biggest kit I can get in Alaska. The bigger kits have epoxy in them. Won't even give an option to ship for hazmat reasons. I chose ups shipping on checkout, and paid $20 more. They shipped it usps instead... but that's a different complaint. Belts rock!
