We offer elite sharpening & profiling services to our customers. We use Blackstone’s Spinner System© providing superior precision grinds translating to increased edge performance.

All standard Radius of Hollow (ROH) increments are available by request in 16ths of an inch. We also use the patented “Flat Bottom V” technology to offer a more customized edge for our customers. If you don’t know what to get, please ask us, and we’ll be able to help you “Get Your Edge.”

Profiling is the shape of the blade you skate on. There are several different types of profiling we offer. The most basic and convenient profiling service is the single radius profile which can be done in-house and takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.

The subject of profiling is lengthy and very much a personal preference, and we suggest contacting TSD to discuss more if you want to read more about profiling, click here.

Yes, just not as much. When we started, we were much more “boots on the ground” in the community. However, as business picked up, there was a significant increase in the appointments booked for our home base.

We still get out in the community. The best way to find out when and where is to follow our Social Media accounts, as that’s where we let everyone know.

Yes! We have a ton of great content on our Social Media, but we also have a YouTube channel with some longer videos explaining profiles, sharpenings, techniques & more. Check it out HERE.

How often is entirely dependent on the skater. If you skate hard and weigh more, your edges will wear faster. Also, if you skate into things like boards, posts, and other skaters, these collisions will cause knicks in the edges. A good rule of thumb is between 10-15 hours on the ice. More if you’re a figure skater.
