Abrasive Belt Work Sharp KO-Blade 1800 Grit — Work Sharp (bulk pack)

The Work Sharp KO-Blade 1800 Grit abrasive belt is engineered for fine finishing and edge refinement when used with Work Sharp sharpening systems and compatible belt sanders. This bulk pack provides multiple belts intended for repeated use in workshops, knife making, tool maintenance and hobby projects. The 1800 grit abrasive surface delivers a fine cut that removes light burrs, evens bevels and prepares edges for final polishing without aggressive material removal.

Advantages

The abrasive formulation and backing design offer consistent contact with blades and small tools, producing predictable removal rates and uniform surface quality. The fine 1800 grit minimizes scratches while efficiently refining metal and wood edges, enabling smoother results before stropping or polishing. Supplied in a bulk pack, these belts reduce the need for frequent reordering and are suitable for repeated use across multiple items and projects.

Suitable for

• Finishing and refining blade edges on knives and cutting tools
• Deburring metal parts and components after grinding or machining
• Smoothing and polishing wooden workpieces and tool handles
• Hobby and small-scale production sharpening tasks

Key specifications

• Abrasive grit: 1800 (very fine)
• Intended use: fine sharpening, deburring and finishing
• Compatibility: designed for Work Sharp sharpening systems and compatible belt sanders
• Pack type: bulk pack offering multiple belts for repeated use
• Material suitability: metal and wood surfaces

How to use

Install the abrasive belt on a compatible Work Sharp system or belt sander following the tool manufacturer's instructions to ensure correct tracking and tension. Run the tool at the recommended speed for fine finishing and present the blade or workpiece at a shallow angle, applying light, even pressure. Move the piece along the belt consistently to maintain an even bevel and avoid localized overheating. After achieving the desired refinement, follow with stropping or a higher-polish stage if a mirror finish is required.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a clean, properly tensioned belt and maintain light, steady pressure. Regularly inspect the belt surface for glazing or clogging, and replace when abrasive performance diminishes. Use protective equipment, including eye protection and appropriate dust extraction when working with metal or wood dust.
