Our System


CalibrationAll skates are checked for square edges. Blade Prep 1Our patented products repair damaged edges. SharpenOur technique ensures consistent speed/pressure. Blade Prep 2Finish pass preparation. Finish PassFinal sharpening pass on machine. CalibrationCheck for square edges, repeat steps if not to standard. Finish ProcessPatented finish tool applied to sharpened blades.

Skaters should be in control of their skates, not the skates controlling the skater. Each and every skate sharpened under the MAXIMUM EDGE process undergoes a rigorous inspection where we check for square and damaged edges.

Combined with our skate profiling system, we can optimize the skate based on the skater's skill level, weight, height, position which all affect skating style, speed, stops, starts, jumps, landings and stick handling.
