Questions people ask

Does a handheld sharpener replace a professional sharpening?
No, it is meant for touch-ups between sharpenings. Skates still need a full sharpening at a pro shop from time to time.
Can the same kit be used on figure skates?
Some kits work on both types, but others are made for hockey blades only. Check the product description, especially if the blades have toe picks.
