Demoing for one of my subscribers how I use a belt sander to put a convex edge on my knives. I get great results using this method. Very clean refined edges IMO. As always, I appreciate you watching.

I have a Harbor Freight 1" x 30" belt sander. Where do you buy your fine grit (600 to 1000) belts? Most places only carry up to 340 grit.

question

i sharpened 3 knives today.....worked fine.....got shocked a few times.

used 220....400...600...600 and cork polish, now i have a question.

i see you reach back on right side and push something to release spring pressure to replace belts, mine has big spring loaded screw with handle i have to unloosen each time

please advise

thanks

How rounded is the edge bevel the sander puts on? Ive been reprofiling almost all my knives with the mousepad sandpaper trick for years but that takes FOREVER. However I do have alot of control over the finished product. Would LOVE to be able to speed up the regrinding process!
