Absolutely! I sharpen for about half of my son's high school team. So far all but one has switched to FBV and love it.

Not a single semi-pro or pro team uses the FBV. I will never understand why people are still trying to make this a thing.

I don't really give a shit.

Agree, who cares as long as FBV works for us. From my limited experience the most important are the edges and skating ease. Interesting topic, btw, why they do not use it? Is it because FBV is more fragile? Or logistics for team equipment managers? They may want to keep it simple.
