HOW TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR BLADE BARBER

MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

The molded handle indicates the proper direction. Moving the Blade Barber in the wrong direction can damage the tungsten carbide cutter.

DON'T USE ON DAMAGED SKATES

DON'T USE ON DAMAGED SKATES

The BB is not intended to sharpen damaged or extremely dull skates, or you will get less than the 25 sharpens of intended lifetime.

DON'T USE ON LARGER ROH

DON'T USE ON LARGER ROH

Don’t sharpen skates with a larger ROH than marked on your B.B. E.g., a 1/2″ ROH B.B. will not sharpen skates with a 9/16″ or larger ROH. 

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT BLADE BARBER

  • I find this product easy to use and most importantly convenient - especially on the bench waiting for the next shift. It makes a difference!! Great job Blade Barber

    DAVE LOVE
  • I recently purchased the Blade Barber and couldn't be happier. Its small enough to fit in your pocket, easy to use and super convenient. Would highly recommend.

    MATT YAKABUSKI
  • This is the handiest tool ever for hockey players and skaters of any type. It fits into your pocket so easily you dont even know it's there. The surprising thing is that you get a top quality sharpening tool that's as good as any drop it off sharpening shop - really. Get two as everyone will want to use yours and eventually you will " lose" yours. Coaches throw 3 or 4 of them into the team hockey bag for a fast tune up. Highly Recommended.
