The Science of the Edge: Why Kearns Athletes Choose Precision
At the Utah Olympic Oval, the margin between a personal best and a standard performance is measured in millimeters. Your blade geometry—the combination of your Radius of Hollow (RoH) and your Profile—is the only thing connecting your power to the ice.
Understanding Your Radius of Hollow (RoH) Many shops in the 84118 area give everyone the same "house" sharpen. We don't. We help you choose based on the Kearns ice:
-
Deep Hollows (e.g., 3/8", 7/16"): Provide maximum "bite." Ideal for lighter skaters or for figure skaters
-
Shallow Hollows (e.g., 5/8", 3/4"): Provide maximum "glide." This is often preferred by speed-focused hockey players at the Oval who want to maintain velocity with less effort.
The Role of Blade Pitch: Are you a hockey player who feels like you’re on your heels? We can adjust your Blade Pitch (the lean of the skate). A forward pitch can help Kearns-area players stay in a more aggressive, athletic stance, improving explosive starts on the Olympic-sized ice sheet.

Performance-Driven Care for the 84118 & Olympic Oval Community
Whether you are a competitive hockey player in your travel season or a figure skater preparing for your next test at the Utah Olympic Oval, we provide the technical edge you need to perform your best.
Unlike the "one-size-fits-all" automated sharpening found at many larger rinks, our Kearns-area clients benefit from:
-
Manual Precision & Inspection: Every blade is meticulously hand-inspected to ensure edges are 100% level, burr-free, and razor-sharp. On the "Fastest Ice on Earth," even a minor imperfection can be felt; we ensure your equipment is flawless.
-
Dialed-In Hollows: We help you select the perfect "Radius of Hollow" based on your skating style and the harder ice conditions typically found at the Olympic Oval and County Ice.
-
Profile Preservation: We are experts at maintaining the specific rocker and pitch of your blades, ensuring your equipment never fights against your technique.
What Customers Say
"Really friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely will be using them again!" --- Charlie H.
"Really great to work with. Very accommodating for drop off and pick up. My hockey skates felt great and had plenty of bite. A great option for those of us in the south end of the valley" --- Dan S.
"We've used SchwendiSharpens (now EDGE for the icebound) a couple of times for skates. They are super flexible with drop-off/pick-up and have really helped me understand the process more. My daughter got a new pair of skates and the factory sharpen on the blades was NOT great. SchwendiSharpens has equipment that enables them to make laser precise measurements ensuring a blade that is perfectly balanced and even. We are very pleased with the results!" --- April M.
"Such a convenient location to have this service at this end of the valley. Super easy to schedule on the website and very quick turnaround!" --- Vanessa D.
"This was my first time taking my skates to an independent sharpener. Growing up, my mom would have them sharpened at the rink for me, so this is the first time doing it on my own in my adult life. I'm very happy with my experience! The booking was easy, can do it directly on their site and pick a time. Mine were done within 9 hours, quick! I also work late so I had to pick them up late afternoon the next day, and Derek was flexible with that which I appreciate. He was happy to answer any questions I had and was informative. I enjoyed the laid back feeling of being able to drop it off at their house, it felt like taking it to a friend. Since it was my first time, I wasn't sure what the cost would be but they have the costs listed on their site when you book. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was only $30. I'm not sure if that's the usual rate everywhere but seems like a very good value for the service you get. I'll definitely be back!" --- Kirsten E.
