    Another great experience at skate sharpening time. A personal and custom sharpening to any specification. Takes the worry out of wondering what happened to my skates when the most inexperienced person in the pro shop was assigned to the sharpening machine!!
    Thanks and appreciation to The Sharpening Dude.

    I am pleased with bringing my skates to TSD! He’s the only experienced in the area! Other places will not do the job like him! Skates are excellent. Book him now! He’s the number one skater sharpener in DMV! I drive over an hour to bring my skates to him!

    Our first experience with John was amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable about blades and boots. He helped us with profiling blades that had been damaged, and determining a profile that was appropriate for my kid’s skating style and position. He also helped us punch out parts of her boots where her ankles were rubbing. He was thorough in explaining his recommendations, and asked great questions to get to know the player and her needs. We will most definitely be coming back!

Located in the backyard shed. When you get here, park in the driveway if possible. Ring the gate bell if it's closed.
