Finding a reliable sharpener for my blades has always been a challenge
Finding a reliable sharpener for my blades has always been a challenge. That's why I'm thrilled to recommend John—he's absolutely one of the best figure skate sharpeners in the Virginia and Maryland area. Around the D.C. region, he's unmatched in terms of precision, knowledge, and attention to detail. I'm not entirely sure about sharpeners in other states, but in this area, John is the only one I trust with my blades.
What sets John apart is his deep understanding of figure skating needs. He doesn't just sharpen blades; he tailors the hollow and edges based on your skating style. He takes the time to explain what he's doing and why. If you're in the VA, MD, or D.C. area and serious about your skating, do yourself a favor and go to John. You won't regret it!

Excellent business
Correct description on the website, good prompt communication as I asked if indeed the green was available. The order was shipped out the next day and was everything I had hoped for.

Highly Recommend Taking Your Figure Skates to The Sharpening Dude
I had a great experience with The Sharpening Dude and will be taking my figure skates to him from now on! He is super knowledgeable about blades and customized mine to the level I’m at in lessons. Better than any pro shop I have used. Highly recommend!

cant say enough good things!
I cant say enough good about my experience with the sharpening dude. I got a sharpening and had my skate punched on a spot i needed more room. I got not only fast and excellent service, but the quality of the work was amazing. I will be back for more work and sharpening's in the future for sure.
John is so kind and does such a good and thorough job. He works those blades in a flash but carefully attends to the details and answers questions about his work with confidence and experience. I brought three pair of figure skates today and was in and out quickly and most satisfied. So glad to be a customer.
Thank you so much for squeezing us in last minute! What a difference having my daughter's skates sharpened by a professional made. We appreciate the affordable pricing! We enjoyed meeting you and appreciate your friendly and positive demeanor. We will definitely come again and pass along your name to others.
John is the one who I trust to sharpen my skates especially my son’s. Also, he’s an avid hockey fan and has wealth of information in DMV! I highly recommend him for anyone looking to get their ice hockey skates sharpened!
