The Pro Shop / Re: Pro-Filer Redirects to Wissota
« Last post by Kaitsu on February 19, 2024, 01:35:23 PM »A few people on this forum have claimed they can tell they are slower with scratched blade sides, so maybe it isn't just cosmetic.According to my understanding in this thread we have talked about chromed areas scratching, but I might have understood wrongly. If scratches in the chrome affects to the skating, problems is in the mental side. What I mean is that if your focus in in the wrong things, you may have problems.
Typically, blades are thinner from the areas where chrome has ground off. If so, at least in theory Pro-filer should not scratch the edges you us for skating. In some other thread(s) I have probably claimed that coarse chrome removal grinding affects to the skating. If I may correct my possible statement, I cannot tell how much that affect to the skating, but it is for sure that the edge is not perfect if one side of the edge is mirror finished and another side has grinding with deep scratches. If you sharpen your knife, you don’t use 3000 grit whetstones for one side and 40 grit stone for other side. Attached picture shows what is the problem, but I do not expect all to understand the point.
Printed tool works better than any other hand sharpening tools I have tested so far. Is it as good as original, that I cannot know as I have never tried Profiler. At least I am able to choose corseness and try polish power grinded hollow.
