After skating, dry the blades with a cloth and store your skates in fabric guards. Rubber guards are only for walking from the changing room to the ice — they hold moisture and the blade rusts in them.
Yes. The factory blade has no working hollow, so the edges don't grip the ice. The first sharpening is necessary before going on the ice.
For recreational skating, on average every 10 hours on the ice. Competitive players sharpen every day or two. The sign is the edges sliding on curves and when braking.
You order the service in the shop, pack your skates and send them to our service. After sharpening we send them back via InPost. The label bought from us covers size C (up to 41 × 38 × 64 cm and 25 kg), so the skates will fit in the box.
The most commonly chosen hollow is 1/2" or 5/8". Lighter people and beginners usually prefer a deeper one (e.g. 3/8"–1/2"), heavier people and those looking for speed a shallower one (5/8"–3/4"). If you have no preference, leave the choice to the technician and enter your weight in the order notes.
No, if it is done by machine. The wheel removes a micro-layer of steel, which does not noticeably shorten the life of the blade.
We advise against it. The hollow must be symmetrical to hundredths of a millimetre — home attempts with a file or whetstone usually end in a ruined blade.
Rated 5 / 5 based on 10 reviews from our previous shop. We will move the review texts over during the migration.
