SHARPENER TESTIMONIALS
We're not ones to toot our own horns, so we'll let you do it!
"I received the Skatemate yesterday and it works great – played last night on a nice edge!
Thanks again."
who has decided to take up hockey. Well as you can probably guess I know next
to nothing about hockey, skates etc. So as my son came off the ice complaining
of "Wobbly Skates" I went to the store to get them sharpened, my son went on
the ice and complained again about "Wobbly Skates". I went to the store that
sharpened the skates spoke to the people who had sharpened them and was
subjected to the "Look" (This guy is an Idiot, we have been sharpening skates
for years of course we can sharpen skates)
some research. I found your product, looked at the testimonials and looked for
a long time at the limited pictures you had available. As a trained engineer your
product appealed to my basic maxim, "An Engineer is someone who can do for
pennies what everyone else is doing for dollars"
and sent my son onto the ice, he had the best game of the season, he could stop,
turn and guess what no "Wobbly Skates"
great product, I will recommend you to anyone who will listen,
congratulations respectfully,
Len
prolong needing to sharpen my blades. (there's only one sharpener out of 5 even
remotely close that actually knows what he's doing)
I was EXTREMELY Skeptical of Skate mate, but figured for the price, it was worth a shot.
When I got it I was surprised at how small and compact it was, I thought to myself
"how can this little thing help MY Skates?" to my shock and amazement,
the Skate mate not only sharpened my edges, it also helped to correct a mistake
an inexperienced sharpener made! It's a very well thought out and well put together tool.
As for competitors to the Skate Mate, there are NONE because it stands alone!
The only other sharpener I've seen/tried was a Y shaped "honing" stone that ruined my ROH.
it claimed it was perfect for hockey skates, but I'm convinced that it was invented by
someone who has no idea how ice skates work.
The Skate Mate is the best, and gets my recommendation to EVERYONE I know!
Makes a great Christmas/Birthday gift too! For the price you CANNOT lose!
THANK YOU for the Skate Mate!

but humored him (as you do). Today was my first coaching lesson since the Xmas break.
My coach was amazed at how well I was skating, couldn't believe how much better
I was and wanted to know what I had 'taken' during the Xmas break!
It wasn't until I got home I realized the skates had been sharpened using this tool!
My edges were clearer and easier and I could do steps which are pretty well
beyond my capabilities, or were last year! This is absolutely true!
Even skate sharpening doesn't get the same effect. It's a miracle tool, I'm convinced of it.
So, thank you for such a great product and a wonderful tool!
"I was reluctant to use the device to sharpen my speed skates BUT tried the device you sold to another
speed skate user recently. It proved effective for an edge slightly dulled during a workout, making it
unnecessary to pull out the jig whetstone etc. during a skating session with limited time available."
Thanks again, Ron
My son, especially after sharpening his skates, MUST now use your Skatemate.
Otherwise he feels he just got a bad sharpening. Your tool does exactly what it says it will,
which makes it already a step above most other "similar" items. My son has stated that his
skates are much, much smoother even on bad ice surfaces.
I have seen & have also confirmed it with him that his skates no longer seem to chatter "EVER"!

It's a long story but....
I don't skate. I bought SkateMate for my son, Sean, who started playing hockey 5 years ago at age 7
in a house league. Being new then to taking care of hockey skates, I thought it was ridiculous to go
to the pro shop and get them sharpened every week at $5 a pop. I went on the internet and the
only truly portable sharpener I thought was worth the money was the Skatemate.
Since then my son has played on 5 high level travel teams and prior to each game his skates are
sharpened and honed with the Skatemate. We've gone to at least 25 tournaments in the last five
years and I've used the Skatemate at everyone. As my son got older his skates got more expensive
and now he's wearing a $400 pair of VaporXX and I still use the Skatemate on them.
When we use the Skatemate his overall skating is much improved with smoother turns and better
edge control. The combination of all this makes him a more potent player.
Thanks,
