We're on the floor at the CTDA Convention in Toronto this weekend. You'll find us at booth 433. Come talk sharpening economics with our team. We're showing a new calculator built to help you work out exactly how profitable a sharpening program can be for your shop, from cost per pair to how fast a machine pays for itself. Stop by booth 433 and we'll walk you through it.

Ordered the same way as everything else in the range: shop.blackstonesport.com, or 1-800-405-3433.

Three k***s. Three-point axis. One holder across the manual range.

The Blackstone® Tri-Lie is the holder for hockey skates with a blade length longer than 6.5". Three detent adjusting k***s, giving a three-point axis. It glides effortlessly across the tabletop.

The part worth knowing if you're outfitting a second bench: the U-12 works across the whole manual range. Stealth, Single Head, Multiple Head, F-Series Portables, and machines outside of our lineup. Same holder, any of them.

Un deuxième support Blackstone qui entre au shop — et ce qu'il dit dans la vidéo compte encore plus que la commande : « on s'équipe tranquillement avec Blackstone, parce qu'on fait confiance à leur compagnie. »

Sa vidéo est en français. Voici la traduction anglaise pour le reste de la communauté. 👇

Thanks to hockey_palace (Instagram) for this one. He's just put a second Blackstone holder on the bench, and what he says in the video means more to us than the order does.

Full English translation:

"Hey gang, we have another package today. Because we ordered a second skate holder from Blackstone Hockey. Blackstone Sports is a skate sharpening company that was founded in Ontario in 1999.

I ordered a second skate holder to make my job easier during my skate sharpenings. And slowly but surely, we are gearing up with Blackstone, because we trust their company. That's really it.

So now, I'm going to set it up so that it's perfectly aligned with my grinding wheel number 1. My holder is adjusted perfectly straight to ensure that your blades are perfectly straight. So I put my holder right here.

If you get sharpenings between 3/8 and 5/8, this is going to be my new holder that you'll be testing out. And slowly but surely, maybe in the coming months, you'll see that the equipment in the back is going to change over to Blackstone.

So no matter what type of repair you want to do on your skates, it will be done with this company, to ensure the repairs will live up to your expectations. Because I certainly have been satisfied with them. Their equipment is really top-notch."

About the holder he's using:
The U-12 Tri-Lie has three detent adjusting k***s, giving a three-point axis, and it's built for hockey skates with a blade longer than 6.5". Blades shorter than 6.5" and most goalie skates take the U-12-U Tall Tri-Lie instead.

It sits on the tabletop of a manual machine — ours and other brands'. That's worth saying plainly, because a holder is usually the first Blackstone piece to land in a shop that runs someone else's bench, and it doesn't ask anyone to change their machine to find out whether they like the clamp.

Which is exactly what's happening at Hockey Palace, one piece at a time. Merci, et bonne saison.

Every shop has the job that gets pushed to next week.

For a lot of sharpeners, it's the exhaust filter.
It's easy to put off, because nothing dramatic happens when a filter loads up. There's no alarm and no failure. Extraction just gets quietly less effective, week over week, until the dust on the bench and the haze in the air become a normal you stopped noticing.

The start of the season is the right time to fix that. The machine hasn't taken its hours yet, the bench is as clean as it'll be all year, and a fresh filter now means full extraction through every rush weekend, every tournament, and every late night before a road trip.

We carry filters across our exhaust systems, from older builds through Cyclone 2.0. Which one you need comes down to your machine and setup, and the fastest way to get it right is to ask.

Call 1-800-405-3433 or email [email protected] and we'll confirm the right filter for your machine.

The machine's ready. Is the shelf behind it?

Every year the same thing happens: tryouts land, the rush hits, and somebody's digging through a drawer looking for a hone that isn't there. A little restocking now saves a lot of scrambling later.

Here's the manual-sharpening checklist worth running before the season starts. Most of it isn't brand-specific. These are consumables that work on any manual setup:

Grinding wheels. Orange for aggressive free cutting on any skate. Ruby, multi-grit for stainless. Black Walnut for rental volume and edge retention. Cobalt Blue for stainless and figure blades. Yellow. Our 8" wheels are compatible with any manual machine's finishing head, including other brands' machines — worth knowing no matter what you're running.

Hand hones. Dark tear drop with oil, light tear drop, rubber cube for polish. 220 grit rectangles in both sizes. Black Magic for black steel, and the extra-fine Arkansas natural stone for the finest finish in the lineup. All of them finish a blade off any sharpener.

Fine Shine and daubers. Coats the grits for a refined grind, cooler cutting and a brighter micron polish. Works across the whole wheel lineup. Daubers wear out — grab spares.

Tef Top Puck. Tabletop treatment that keeps the holder gliding clean through the pass. Goes on any manual machine's tabletop.

Figure skate pick guards. They mount to the blade at the pick rather than to the machine, so they work on any manual setup.

Single-point diamonds. Running a single-point head? Our Sharp and Super Sharp diamonds fit any manual machine set up for single point, whoever built it. Worth knowing if you've been sourcing them through your machine's manufacturer.

And if you're on a Blackstone, this is the season to look at the dressing side too: FBV® and ROH spinners, A-TRAP® goalie sets, drag cap with its snap ring, thrust washer and wave washer, drag cap post, the single-point quill itself, cross grind wheels and dresser wheel, drive belts, exhaust filters and spare fuses. Make sure everything is in good condition before dressing.

Walk the shelf, write down what's low, get the order in. Ordering's easier in August than it is in October.
