Thanks for the video! New dad to the Gatineau Speed Skating club, and I was hoping to get a good video instruction to properly sharpen their skates, this did the job! Thanks again!
Great video. Thanks for the explanation. I was putting weight on the stone (learned that from my fellow skaters). Next time I will keep it nice and easy. If my skates were used for 10 trainings, how much should I use the coarse stone? 50 repetitions?
Always a range, the bigger the correction, the lower a grit to start with, it'll save a lot of work and progress faster. 200-400 for first shaping, 400-800 for sharpening and good enough for training, 1200-2000 would only be for final polishing. For high end competition, maybe finish polish with a 3000-8000 range.

So the stoppers at the back of the blade? Does it matter if the stoppers are at the front of the blade?
where i could find these stones?
