I'm an amature knife maker and work for KMS Tools Victoria. I own a 2" x 72" belt grinder sander and saw that KMS could bring these in, but didnt... sooo to make a long story short, I worked hard with Klingspor and the owners of KMS to bring in these belts. It will personally save me a lot of money to not have to pay shipping on these belts. N0 shipping is added to the cost of the belts! These belts are now available at the Victoria store location and can be ordered to any of the 18 KMS stores across western Canada! Grits include 35grit to 1000 grit! As a Canadian, we get taken advantage of by paying high prices on shipping and I was sick and tired of that being a problem. Now you can order a belt and not pay the shipping or walk into any KMS and walk out the same day with the belts you need. I know for a fact that in Victoria we are now the first of any store to stock these belts and the first store (As far as I am aware) outside of Germany to stock the new Klingspor Zarcona Ceramic belts CS-931 series. Our belts range in price from $8.99-$13.00. The 9 hundred series is cool in that as the material breaks down, it sharpens itself with sharp angle particles. Hope this helps all you Canadian Knife makers out there.
Thanks Mark - I haven't been able to see any online yet but I'm guessing it might take some time to show up. I still like to support our local members who sell but nice to have a few more options Dave
