I occasionally use my belt sander (1" x 42") for sharpening knives and am looking for a decent source & grit to put an edge on without having to stone the edge afterward. The blades aren't all of the best steel for holding an edge, so I sometimes have to touch up frequently on the belt, but it's quick. I have a steel & a hand held diamond sharpener, but like using the belt. In fact, I like the fine saw-tooth edge that is left by a belt.
I called Klingspor & they recommended the 1" x 42" belt (P/N 3210600x1424) Silicon Carbide over the Alum Oxide. Unfortunately they don't accept PayPal. I only need 2-3, but, I've been unable to find a 1" x 42" belt in 600 grit "Silicon Carbide" on Google or eBay.
Any suggestions?
