Skate blades are not flat. A hollow or ‘U’ shape is ground into the blade to create a right and left edge. When sharpening, the grinding wheel removes steel from the centre of the blade, creating a hollow in the blade. The radius of hollow (ROH) determines the sharpness of the blade. The deeper the hollow or U shape, the sharper a skate feels. The following are common sharpening measurements in order of deepest to shallow: 22-25 mm.
