You can get them directly from their site: http://www.worksharptools.com/knife/sharpeners/ken-onion-abrasives.html/. I have a WSKO on the way as we speak, so I'm in the market for belts too. :thumbup:

Well there is a huge aftermarket of belts for all three work sharp belt configurations. (Original , WSKO , WSKO W/ Blade Grinding Attachment)

I would stick with the structured ceramics Darex sells for initial stock removal and heavy damage repair. Then I would move onto some upgraded linen belts loaded with CBN. Long term this is more cost effective than using the original belts. By using CBN you can tackle literally any steel on the market , even ceramics , and you can attain a much broader spectrum of finishes than with more traditional belts. Additionally the linen belts have no "bump" like a leather belt. These are available through Ken Schwartz in all three work sharp sizes as well as full size 1x30 , 1x 42 and 2x72 variations.

I purchased belts from Amazon.

I just reread the original post. You can buy belts sets, not individual belts, from Amazon. So never mind.
