Skate Sharpening by
Tom Falls
Sharpening since 1994
I sharpen both figure and hockey skates and do small repairs such as punching and screw replacement. Whether you are a recreational or competitive skater participating in singles, pairs, dance or synchro, I can give you the grind to maximize your performance. Skates are sharpened while you wait, however, blade mounting takes longer so be prepared to leave your skates with me.
WHAT I DO
SHARPENING
The radius of the hollow in your blade depends on persoanl preference, ice conditions, skating abiity and usage. I can give you the hollow of your choice to maximize your skating performance.
BLADE MOUNTING
I no longer offer this service.
PUNCHING & SMALL REPAIRS
Sometimes new skates rub,
especialy on the ankle bone. I have specialized punches that create a small pocket to take the presuure off the spot that is hurting. The punch needs to stay in place overnight, so be prepared to leave your skates with me.
