Red Heat Belts

I tried some Norton Red Heat R983 belts from CKSL. I have say these are super belts. My first 36 grit still has some life after two 9" chef knives. One S35VN and one Nitro-V, both are hard-as and ground post heat treatment. I'll buy these belts again.

Cool...As an automotive jobber rep I have a Norton rep, and sometimes 2 x 72 Blaze and Bluefire 'demo' samples have somehow ended up in the trunk of my car lol! Except it seems Read Heat are cut to order, where as I can give part numbers to him on Blaze and Bluefire, doesn't look like I can for Red Heat 36-120G unless CKSL post Norton part-numbers and not just the designated line code R983.

Blaze ceramic 36G - 120G that I have, well, they are crazy good. And I actually like the performance of their Bluefire 180G and 220G also.

 

Apparently they are a newer product. https://www.knifemaker.ca/2-x-72-Belts/Ceramics/#pageId=2

 

Fast cut usually wears faster but in the end they work so much faster the expense is well worth it
