Ordering process was straightforward. Easy to select options with provided information. Steel runners look and perform great. Only criticism is the notification process from order processing to order shipment.
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.

We enjoyed meeting you and appreciate your friendly and positive demeanor. We will definitely come again and pass along your name to others.
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!
