Ken what type belts are you using? I found that the standard belts you would find in a hardware store don't last long when working with knife steels. Most of them are aluminum oxide(AO). Try some Norton Blaze belts or Ceramic belts. More expensive but will last much longer.

I run Pheonix Abrassives belts 50/120 grit ceramics
And 220/400/800 aluminum oxide.
Red scotchbrite for blending.
And a 2x72 leather strop with green compound rubbed in it.
KensAuto:
Thanks guys. I just got them from grizzly so I would have something to start with, or should I say practice with.
I will order some good ones after these are done, based on your recommendations.

I only have 3 years doing the deed, but I’m well versed in the gear I run. I’ll help where I can
