The belts worked great will be using them from now on. These are the first knives I have made in a few years been a grind getting them done and working full time. Thank you combat abrasives. Hick-A-Billy Knives
Just an enthusiastic hobbyist but combat abrasive belts are what I bought at the outset and I don’t plan on buying anything else.
Best belt quality Won't go else where 5 stars all day everyday
The only belts I will buy. Far above, in use and lifespan, then any other belts I've bought.
The 2x42 60 grit shredder belt has really upped my blade making game. As someone currently freehanding flat surfaces, that initial grind is most crucial and most time consuming as you establish bevels and remove hammer marks. The shredder saves me a LOT of time! Wish they lasted longer, but the cleaning block extends the useful life and, when they’re dull, they still do a fine job on wood!
excellent product, I am a professional knife sharpener, this is the best belt .
I won’t buy from anywhere else. I’m always impressed with how quickly I can remove material to make epic swords and knives!
Haven’t had a chance too use the belts yet but I’m sure they will work fine
I love the combat abrasive belts. They are a great product for a great price. I will continue to buy them.
These belts really move metal. Cut my grinding time down by half. I was skeptical but holy smokes they grind. in fact my first pass it “caught” since i was used to my old 60grit and how slow I would make passes. This one was the best bevels i have ever ground!
Great product. Love it. Staying loyal
Not finished yet but first time I used your products.Really upped my game!
These belts move metal. Plain and simple, they have cut my shaping time down by hours. You will not disappointed.
Grinding casting parts for building flintlocks
The 60 grit shredder I think is the most efficient at cutting hardened material. Makes a great foundation to refine you finish from.
Great belts. Use them a lot in my Backyard Smithy
Just set up my new belt grinder. I ordered a range of Combat Abrasives 2x48 belts in various grits. The belt quality is very good. I know these will meet my needs.
These are great belts the best I ve ever used
These belts are amazing. I was very intimidated at first use , they removed material like I hadn't experienced before and I thought they were about e my skill levels. Once I learned what they were capable of soon feel in love and will not use another product if I have a choice they are my first stop for belts and look forward to trying there slow cure epoxy. The fact that they are a family owned business gives me that much more confidence that they care about how the product performs
Love the belts. I actually ordered the wrong size and the CS team jumped on ot and sent me the right ones. Way better than cheap amazon ones.
Great belts
I converted my old Shop Smith to a 2x48 belt grinder.
Total game changer these are the best belts I've ever used
I use the 2 X 48 belt on my 6 X 48 sander. Works great!
Works great on my 6 X 48 grinder.
Best belts I’ve used fast shipping
will buy more
first time buyer but will buy again
Great belts fast shipping all around good products
These belts last a LONG time, and customer service is second to none!
Hopping was incredibly fast, and the belt quality is top notch! I’ll be buying all my abrasives from Combat Abrasives from now on!
Great service fast shipping turnaround these belts are a game changer in knife making
Great belt for stuck removal and cleaning up forge scale. Far superior to other belts I have tried.
I've run through thousands of belts on this old grinder I built 20+ years ago, but these Shredder belts are a whole new level of grinding efficiency....after giving them a try they'll be my go to for hogging steel!
Longest lasting belts in the business
Great belt for stock removal.
I am brand new to knife making but these belts are awesome!!THANKS
Best belts that I have used in my 15 years of knife making long lasting and consistent quality
These belts chew through the toughest stock. The finer and lighter weight belts run like a silk blanket. Heat buildup was minimal all the way through the grits. In fact, this bevel was ground without a bucket of water...just the occasional spritz of Windex on the belt and blade.
