Blade Sharpening

Your skate blades will be professionally sharpened free of charge before they leave here. We use a state-of-the art, fully automatic CagOne profiler system to sharpen blades, so you are guaranteed a perfect edge every time.
Blades will be ground to 1/2" ROH (radius of hollow) unless you specify otherwise. This is the best setting for novice/recreational skaters offering excellent side to side grab whilst still running freely on the glide. If you would prefer a different ROH, please let us know when you order and we will sharpen them to your requirements.
