Just wanted to say how impressed I am with these blades after about 6 months. I've been on the ice 1-2 times a week in those 6 months and have only felt the need to get them sharpened once (after the original sharpen).
3 months later.. decided to get em sharpened although I don't really think they needed to be. So crazy how well these things hold an edge.

90/75 had too much bite compared to 7/16? Something is not right with that, unless the ice was a lot softer. You may like the grip of the x/50 a little more. Something like the 100/50 maybe.
It might not actually be 7/16th that I normally get it done at. I just drop the skates off and pick them up. I'll have to ask next time for confirmation. I was told that 7/16th is standard so I assumed that my regular sharpen is a 7/16th.

90/75 seemed to be way too much bite for me. Of course I was using them on a surface I don't usually skate on, a much higher quality surface. Likely just going to stick with what I have for now as there aren't many places in Vancouver that offer the FBV.

90/75 FBV with a 9/11 dual radius
Specs of the blades on some skates used skates I purchased.
How much different will this feel compared to my regular stock 7/16 sharpening with stock step steel (believe it is 10" radius)?

Jersey is a size too big :(.

Hah I was just looking at those gloves as they were $50 at a local consignment shop. Someone then directed me to Winners. Going to go check em out. Hopefully my sister likes em enough to warrant a purchase.

Two pairs retail, two pairs pro stock. Its amazing how much better the quality of pro stock socks is. Like night and day.
I know eh. Retail are brutal.. prefer the thick socks more than retail edge.

Are the blades in the RBZ really that shiny in person? I wanted to get a pair but I'm not digging the 'mirror-like' finish.
You can't even see the mirror after you hit the ice. Ice gets on em.

I do that to the face/back of my stick to flatten it + look like a boss ;).

Are you on the right? You look like Matt Frattin lol.

Phaneuf jersey I got for 75% off (too good to pass up), brand new medium 9k girdle and navy shell (shell is for sale):

Finally got out to try my Step. Thought it would take a while but it just felt right the moment I stepped onto the ice. The bite was really nice and the glide was nice. Only thing that I didn't like was the size of the back of the blade affected my backwards skating, which wasn't strong to begin with. Going to keep on trying em out, and maybe get em profiled to help with the backwards skating if I can't adjust.

$35 for a stick AND jersey? Damn.

The outside polished area is very hard and generally does not need honing. You will never notice any difference, honed or unhoned. A honing stone will scratch them. On brand new ones someone buys from us we do not hone, seems some do not like getting new steel with any scratches. After you play on them a while they will get naturally hacked up by skates blades, at that point, hone away.
Thank you

Okay so I ordered some Step V-Steel. Anything I need to let my sharpener know before he sharpens them assuming he doesn't already know how to sharpen them? How do I keep the mirror finish? Honing the sides or something? If I chose to not have that done to keep the mirrored finish, how would that affect the sharpen?

Curve specs on the Ai9?
Not sure exactly. It's a bit more open than a normal Sakic/Hall curve.
Here's a pic (#6):

They look great. Also do you have LS3 / Step steel in em? Looks really tall.

The black Tuuks look great.
If you're Jaromir Jagr then yeah. If not, you'll get so chirped 24/7.
Nice steal man. PIAS is hilarious for steals.

i was more trying to highlight the fact that on one hand, everyone whinges that when they go to pro team sales, there is nothing left because the first few people came and bought all that they could carry regardless of if for private use etc.
Then on the other hand we celebrate people who have 4 girdles which cant possibly be for personal use.
We whine when the people who do that are not apart of our communities :). If they are apart of it, good job to them.
