5/8" ROH, 5.3° Bite Angle Model 1000
The Blade Barber Model 1000 is a completely new type of skate sharpener for any ice skate blade requiring a hollow sharpening.
The 5/8” radius of hollow, 5.3° bite angle Blade Barber is larger than the standard 1/2" ROH for 3mm thick ice skate blades (not for 4mm thick blades). For custom radiuses between 7/16" and 1" please send us a message and we can fabricate your custom radius sharpener for an additional fee.
Unlike other handheld sharpeners the Blade Barber actually works. If you're not 100% happy with your Blade Barber, simply return it for a refund.
I find this product easy to use and most importantly convenient - especially on the bench waiting for the next shift. It makes a difference!! Great job Blade Barber 😉

I have been using the 1/2" ROH for about a month now. It works great. Its really hard to get skates sharpened in Wellington New Zealand. We have to ship our blades to Auckland. Now I can do them anytime. The only problem is that my mates keep wanting to use it. I suspect Blade Barber will have quite a following from down here! Keep up the great work.

Blade Barber is a great sharpener! The tool will do as advertised and sharpen your skates as well as a machine. Follow the video before you try to use it. Apply light pressure and feel it glide down the blade. Make sure to knock out shavings between passes. The customer service is also top notch with these guys. They will help you with any problem and try their best to make sure you have a great experience. Thanks Tim Maxwell for the help and the awesome product. I will be back.
