The last two blades I got from tydan came back with quite uneven edges. Just barely staying in the green zone on my sparx edge checker. So ya.. even that machine isn't always perfect. 

Same here- 2 pairs, both WAY off.

And they supply NHL and other pro  teams too. So weird. Maybe it's just for the convenience of being able to order bulk and getting them profiled. Trainers might re sharpen them. I also am not a fan of the way the skatescribe sharpens the skates. Leaves a scale like finish in the hollow.  But with that said their "like new" pro stock steel with free profile and sharpen is a good deal regardless of uneven edges lol.

Likely they are operating at scale and have hired staff to help out with retail profiling/sharpening, thus you aren't getting the same quality they provide to the NHL teams.

Which is kinda bunk. I don't really care because I have a sparx and it was free with the blade purchase. But if I paid for brand new steel and paid for profiling and sharpening as well I would be upset.
