SkateMate® PRO is a precision professional honing tool designed to fit all the varying blade widths found on today’s ice skates: from hockey and figure skates to tour skates and speed skates. SkateMate’s universally adjustable concept was invented more than 25 years ago. After years of testing, two patents were granted that describe and protect SkateMate’s unique features: i.e. totally adjustable gap using no extra tools and a flexible abrasive cylinder to fit any existing ROH [Radius Of Hollow]: from 3/8 inch up to and above two inches. For ROHs of 5/16th and 3/8th inch, however, we recommend our RETROFIT KIT for best results.  

ADJUSTMENT KNOBS < to see above, touch cursor on name > one at each end of the tool are turned equally at the same time to open the gap a bit wider than the blade. The two knobs are to be turned in opposite directions at the same time until SkateMate sits tightly on the blade. Then reversed slightly until one can slide the tool up and down the blade easily yet snugly.
It will sharpen hockey, figure, speed, and bandy skates. It is a sharpener to keep you sharp on the ice. Yet another reason for buying SkateMate!
