...anyone know where one might be able to get this "new" type of cut around town?

Just a wondering.

Thanks.

I'm currently testing this out on my skates. I go to Dave's Sports in Fridley just north of 694 and Central (Moore Lake Drive I believe). I tried their "standard" which they refer to as 150 and I found they weren't edgy enough for my liking. So I moved up to the 175 and I really like them so far. Been skating on the 175 for 3 sessions so far with no problems. Nice and edgy and I do notice the difference in "glide".

I think height and weight could be a factor in which cut you choose so for reference, I'm 5'9" / 180lbs.

Thumbs up so far. Downside? $4.00 for regular sharpening / $7.50 for this one.

I'm a big fan as well, and use it on both regular and goalie skates.

Strause has it too.

There is a thread on this somewhere on here, V-cut I believe is in the title.

Roseville Play It Again apparently has it.

The literature on it refers to it as the "Flat Bottom V".

General Sports in Edina also does it. 50th and France

I go to Dave's too, I started with a 100/50 and now use the 100/75.

Love it.

Anyone notice a change in the time needed between sharpenings yet?

More - less - no change?

5 weeks of at least twice a week skating an I haven't had them sharpened again yet.
