Sharpening Service
Here at Skate Service Specialists, sharpening is the core service of the business. Since there is not a one size fits all solution for how
customers like their skates sharpened, the service is customized based on the personal preferences of the skater. These may include weight, skating level, experience, or personal preference. Careful attention is given to producing level edges with minimal steel removed, preserving the shape and consistency of the rocker radius, and without hitting toe picks or rounding heels of blades.
Traditional Blade Figure Sharpening - $15 per pair
*Lightweight Blade Figure Sharpening - $20 per pair
Hockey Blade Sharpening -$10 per pair
(*Lightweight blades include Ultima Matrix, Wilson Revolution and Eclipse Titanium)
Common hollows (90% of sharpenings) are...
1/2" (shallow hollow - more speed and glide, less edge bite)
*7/16" (medium hollow - good speed and good edge bite) (*most common hollow)
3/8" (deep hollow - edges dig deep in the ice for superior grip but at the cost of reduced speed)
Other hollows are available upon request
Edge finishes (provided at no extra cost)
- Light sharpening (edge dulling for ease in adjustment and stopping)
- Skidded axel sharpening (front left outside edge dulled)
