# Ice skate sharpening

Ice skate sharpening at Bogdanca costs from PLN 29.99 per pair. We work on ProSharp machines: we level the edges and grind a hollow with a depth from 3/8" to 1 1/4", matched to your weight and style of skating. We sharpen in Poznań and Wrocław, and by post across Poland. Blade profiling is done in Poznań and by post — we don’t profile in Wrocław.

## Who it’s for

- You have new skates — the factory blade has no working hollow and needs a first sharpening.
- Your skates slide sideways, “run away” on curves or don't grip when braking.
- You play hockey or train and want a specific hollow depth or blade profile.

## Key features

- **ProSharp machines** — The automatic pass of the wheel gives a repeatable hollow along the whole length of the blade. Our technicians were trained by an authorised ProSharp dealer.
- **A hollow matched to you** — If you don't specify a depth, we will choose it according to your approximate weight and the type of skates. A shallower hollow means more glide, a deeper one a stronger edge grip.
- **Z channel** — An extra flat channel at the bottom of the hollow: the skate goes faster, and the edges grip as with a deeper grind.
- **Blade profiling** — The Zuperior, Quad and Ellipse profiles change the shape of the blade lengthwise — for manoeuvrability, acceleration or stability. We profile in Poznań and by post — in Wrocław we only sharpen.
- **Check after sharpening** — Every pair is checked for edge evenness and symmetry.

## Questions and answers

### Do new skates need sharpening?

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.

### How often should skates be sharpened?

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.

### How does sharpening by post work?

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.

### Which hollow depth should I choose?

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.

### Does sharpening damage the blade?

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.

### Can I sharpen my skates myself?

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.
