Product Description
PLEASE READ THIS! There is no tool for a sharpener to measure to ensure that a FBV sharpening is completely in a piece of steel. No worry, we've been doing FBVs longer than anyone else in the U.S., and we have a pretty good idea how many passes on our machine it takes to do a FBV sharpening. However, on the other hand, we don't like to do excessive passes because that wastes your steel and reduces the life of the runners. If you are sending in steel for sharpening and they already the FBV you are ordering in the steel, you don't have to do anything. If you are sending in steel that has something other than the FBV you are ordering, please use the Comment section on the checkout page to let us know something different is in there. Saying something like, "This set does not currently have a FBV sharpening" will suffice. When you let us know, we will then do extra passes to ensure the FBV gets established. If you don't let us know, in rare cases, it's possible your FBV won't come out correctly. We don't want that to happen so be sure to let us know in the comments when you order. Thank you.
Note: A normal sharpening does not include removal of deep nicks, chips or gouges. Extra fees may apply. We inspect each blade, if we think they are OK to skate on with no performance problems, we'll do a normal sharpening and ship them back to you. If you know your blades are in bad shape, you can select the "Remove Deep Nicks and Gouges" option.
Note: If you are sending in brand new out of the box steel that has never been sharpened before, the cost to sharpen new steel is not $7.75 It is $23.25, so you must order 3 FBV sharpenings, we do not have another way to order a first time FBV sharpening on new steel on this website.
Note: We know the webstore allows you to select "Blade Matching" with this regular sharpening but Blade Matching is only available with a custom radius. Blade Matching destroys a radius so a radius has to be done after doing the matching.

Excellent
Live in Colorado and always get back a perfectly sharpened set of blades in less than a week. Typically mail them Fri and get them back Thurs. Great customer service. I've tried a number of different FBV cuts and ended up with the initial recommendation. Radius and FBV recommendations were perfect and have improved my skating (Speed, agility, and stamina).

Fast and consistant quality every time
I have been using the service for almost 2 years. I love that I no longer have to worry about which rink or which High School kid knows how to sharpen correctly. (And the quad radius profiling is just awesome)

Amazing Sharpening!
I had heard about Bob's sharpening for years, but only recently made the drive up from Boston. It was WORTH IT! Now able to ship the blades, I am happy to report that the custom profiling and FBV sharpening is exactly as promised: more speed, consistent edging, perfect for my high school and middle school players!

so much faster, little effort
Fbv sharpening on step steel is so fast, yet you can turn as hard as you want without slipping. 2 strides and you're at top speed. I use long strides so this helped me even more. I'm going to get the quad radius soon, I have the double radius now.

Why go anywhere else?!
Why risk it? We used to go to our local shop but were tired of inconsistent results. If you want consistent results, professional advice and world class customer service go no further. Their sharpen by mail service is amazing and we'll never go anywhere else, ever again!!

No Icing Sports is Consistent, better than the shops in my town!
Bob does a really good job sharpening and turns his work around quickly. The shipping arrangements work pretty well. Its best to have a spare set of steel so you can use one set while the other is "in transit". I use No Icing because the one guy in Houston who did a great job has started up a different business and no longer sharpens skates.Bob is extremely reliable.

Changed from an FBV 9/16 to FBV 5/8.
I like it!

Second to none.
Bob has done excellent over the years. The best part is the consistency. Never, ever, worry about putting a fresh set on right before a key game. We have changed profiles, his recommendations are spot on.
