For skaters, maintaining perfectly sharpened blades is essential for optimal performance on the ice. Whether you’re a hockey player, figure skater, or speed skater, the accuracy of your skate sharpening directly affects your agility, control, and overall skating experience. This is where the Parduc T5 Blade Groove Tester comes into play.

Why Blade Groove Measurement Matters

The hollow or groove on a skate blade significantly impacts the way a skater interacts with the ice. The depth and radius of the hollow determine grip, glide, and maneuverability. If the groove is inconsistent or incorrectly sharpened, it can lead to performance issues, uneven wear, and even injuries.

Many skaters rely on feel to assess their blades, but this method is highly subjective and often inaccurate. The Parduc T5 Blade Groove Tester provides a precise and objective measurement, ensuring that the sharpening job is accurate and consistent every time.
