I'm looking to get belts for making knives on my 1x30 sander. Can you guys give me a recommended starter set? Also the amount of each belts I should get. I'm looking for belt recommendations for handle shaping, blade profiling, blade finishing, and bevel setting.

Thanks!
 
For shaping a handles I like a 36 grit, for handles and blades I use a 60, 80, 120, 220. I don't think you want to go much past 220 on a 1 x 30. I use more of the coarse grits and need fewer of the finer grits. I would plan on 2 60 and 80 and one 120 and 220 for each blade. The 36 should last through a few handles.
