4 years ago today I left my home in Buffalo NY at 4 am and toke a ride up to Kingsville, Ontario to the Blackstone offices/factory for an 8 am meeting with Steve about buying a sharpen for personal use. With my son skating 7 nights a week and going to the pro shop 4-5 times a week, it was a good decision to buy one and save my time and money. (The wife didn't think it was a good idea to this day) After spending the day with Steve and the guys in the shop I decided to buy one. That was the first time I heard about the Flay Bottom V. I know I am a little spoiled, but I bought the Triple Head Stealth machine, loaded in the back of my truck and on my way back to Buffalo. Customs had a great time with me that nigh, but it was well worth it. I have sharpened over 5000 pairs of skates (as a Hobby) and yet to have one person go back. Ok out to the shop to finish todays batch of skates
