I am working on a 9 knife order for a wedding. It has gone well but would have been better had the materials I wanted from your site were actually in stock and not have to settle for belts I didn’t want. There were multiple belts not available that I had to substitute an inferior belt for.

I’ve bought from a few sand belt brands and I’ve found combat to have the best deals for an intermediate knife maker like myself!
Richard W.
The belts work great, that's why I bought them from you !
Nathanael B.
This was recommended to me by a friend and I love it. Will buy more.
Jerry M.
good service great product

Even with a non variable speed grinder these belts make quick work of profiling and shaping. Excellent quality
Vincent J.
I've tried several other brands of belts and Combat outlasts and out performs them all.

I love the Combat Abrasive Belts. They are hardworking and are long lasting. My recent order was received with the cleaning compound melted and rehardened over three of the belts. I live in Florida and it has been hot and I understand that trucks are not air conditioned. Perhaps a solution would be to put the conditioner in a plastic bag so that if the conditioner melts, it will be contained and not coat the belts in the box.

The shredder belts definitely remove material! I haven't used one grit long enough yet to see how well they hold up compared to the other brands I have.
Stephen L.
It really is all about the belts and these are damn fine belts and upped my game considerably

Daniel

GREGORY F.
Shredder belts are the Best!!
Jimmer D.
Always a good product. And always QUICK SHIPPING!
Tyler A.
I just want to thank combat abrasives for doing a little bit extra for me. I screwed up on my order putting the wrong address down for shipment. It got sent back to them and they resent it to me free of charge so thank you for that!
Tyler R.
Great kit- these belts cut faster than shit goes through a goose and that’s fast.
Robert M.
Good belts. Exactly as ordered.
William M.
Great quality, fast shipping and prompt customer service!
David B.
Great selection of belts for the first time 72x2 grinder purchase.
Steve G.
I bought but have not used them yet. But I learned about lubricating the belts, something I hadn’t thought about.
Steve L.
Starting a small knife business. Your belts are great and hold up really good. Will be getting more. Thx
Tanner M.
The new grease lubricant really works! It’s worth the money.

This was my second order of a kit from CA. The first kit included some jflex and other belts in addition to a couple of the Shredder belts. I used the first kit for several knife blades and handles.
I ordered the Shredder kit to have extra for when my original belts got too worn and to have extra intermediate grits. Glad I did because the Shredder kit's 120 grit was grittier than the years old 36 grit I was attempting to grind out another knife with. The speed difference was quite noticeable (amazing actually). Lesson learned for me. Retire belts quicker.
Now that I have a base of the Shredders, I can order just the grit that I'm down to one or two belts of.
Del W.
Great belts, last long
Bob Z.
Best belts I have used.I. A one man knife company, Bobby Bayou Blades and these belts help me get the job done.
Matt M.
Have only used a few so far but they seem to be decent belts.
Luke R.
I’ve been buying Combat Abrasives’ shredder belts for the last 3 or more years and they are no joke. They hog off material extremely fast and they last surprisingly long compared to other belts I’ve used.
Wade S.
Belts are aggressive in lower grits 36cut cleanly and keep cutting ,great wear resistant will buy again
Dean Y.
Good quality belts. I have tested out the 36 grit belt and it moves material quickly.
Wade H.
This is my second order and there willbe more in the future. Price and quality are very good.
Harrison P.
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 long life very pleased with life of belts

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!
Keith R.
Great products, great prices.
Nathan C.
The best grinding g belts I've ever used!
Will E.
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
JOHN C.
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
Will E.
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!
julian m.
This is truly an incredible product, the sanding belt is my new favorite thing to use in the office. Thank you.
James D.
Quick delivery and these ceramic belts work so much better and last so much longer than the belts I was using.
Wesley K.
Jaw dropping impressive. The quality and longevity of the belts are incredible

Lewis S.
I have not been able to use it yet. As soon as I am able I will let you know what I think.
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
Toby k.
Shredder is an accurate name!
Michael J.

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 .
Eric B.

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.
Joshua J.
Kicking myself for not buying these belts sooner.
Daniel D.
So far so good thanks

Love the belt grease and shredder combo. Never used 36 grit but it bites well and is smooth especially with the grease.
Casey G.

Bob E.
As a serious part time Blade Smith, I have used Combat Abrasives Shredder belts exclusively. I've tried all the major brands and keep coming back for more! Please see attached pic of a knife I made using Shredder belts. Thank you, Bob Earhart owner, Bob Earhart Knives
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.
