Skate Profiling and Blade-Height Maintenance
Profiling shapes how the blade contacts the ice; sharpening restores the edges on that profile.
Profiling is different from sharpening
An initial profile can influence balance, stability, agility, and the amount of blade in contact with the ice.
A profile wears and changes over repeated sharpenings, so blade height and profile shape should be measured and maintained over time.
Measured for repeatability
Specialized equipment and measurement help distinguish an initial profile, ongoing profile maintenance, and ordinary sharpening.
