So for those of you who ever wondered how ice skates were sharpened, here's a little sum'n sum'n. I'm not getting into detail detail because it would take forever to type it. This whole skate sharpening is such a time consuming process. As in 1 pair could take 5-10 minutes and as part of my job, we have to sharpen at least 6 on our shifts........pshh yeah right.
You're going to need one of these ^^^. That's the sharpening machine. Adjust it to it's proper position and sharpness and you're ready to sharpen.
Let the sparks fly on this bad boy. Hockey skates and figure skates have different ways of sharpening. I rather sharpen hockey skates.
Then you use that tool up there...i forgot what it's called. That helps maintain the blade's sharpness too...somehow.
....and TADA! It's finished. Feel free to shank somebody or sever any fingers on your way. I'm kidding, of course.
