San Antonio Skate Sharpening

Folks, this type of sharpening has hit the market like a storm. We are proud to be San Antonio's only shop to offer this new technology to the local hockey community, and humbly understand that the goal of a sports shop is to take care of its customers through service, price and value -- period.

Unlike the conventional sharpening that puts a hollow between two edges, the FBV is a totally new way to sharpen and shape an ice skate blade. With a conventional sharpening, you have to choose between grip/bite and speed. With the FBV, you get both maximum bite (when you need it) but also maximum glide (when you need it).

The Flat Bottom V has virtually zero getting use to time. In a matter of minutes, you'll adapt easy to this setting and soon be reaping the rewards of super speed and endurance, yet at the same time have all the grip you need for hard turns and stops.

Getting an FBV on your skates does not alter your Rocker radius at all, it does not take off any more steel than a regular sharpening, and if you are ever in a bind for a sharpening, it can easily be sharpened over with your previous hollow by any sharpener.

We offer 4 different FBV's. Select the one that gives you the bite you are use to, or you can even get more bite (better turning) without losing speed by choosing a more aggressive cut.  Most skaters should start with a 100/50 FBV (equates to ½” depth). Need more bite? Try switching to a 100/75 FBV (equates to 3/8” depth). Need less? Try switching to a 90/75 FBV (equates to 5/8” depth).

Try it, you'll never go back to a regular sharpening again!
