Perfect for the busy hockey player/parent or those who don't have a good skate sharpener near by. Why trust your skates with the new kid at the shop when you can get your own pro-shop quality sharpen yourself with the Blade Barber? The Blade Barber Skate Sharpener uses a tungsten carbide blade to shave steel as it sharpens your skates. This is more than an edge touch up tool, it actually removes steel and sharpen skates. No other tool can replace a completely worn edge like the Blade Barber can.
