Nirey Sharpener Belt(Coarse)

The Nirey Coarse Sharpening Belt is made for bringing worn or blunt knives back into working condition. This belt removes metal faster than the medium or fine grades, making it the first step when a knife edge has rounded off or needs a more defined cutting angle. It fits Nirey belt-driven sharpeners and is commonly used on boning knives, skinners and slicers that see frequent use.

The belt installs easily, runs smoothly across the guides and is shaped to maintain steady contact with the blade. Once the coarse belt has formed the edge, users typically switch to a finer Nirey belt to finish, polish and refine the knife. For butcher shops, farms and home processors who sharpen regularly, keeping a spare coarse belt ensures fast recovery of heavily used knives.
