Nirey Sharpener Belt (Med)

The Nirey Medium Sharpening Belt is designed for routine knife maintenance on Nirey belt-driven sharpeners such as the KE-3000 and KE-500. The medium grit is ideal for everyday sharpening — it removes enough metal to restore a tired edge while still leaving a smooth finish ready for finer polishing belts if required.

This belt is commonly used in butcher shops, farms and game processing setups, where knives need to be kept sharp throughout the day. The belt fits securely onto the machine’s rollers, tracks cleanly during use and is easy to replace when worn.
