Varnish stuff? SnoSeal? Artwork? Autographs? Your name? Glitter?
Klingbeil's iconic flower, my name and the boots creation date etched into the leather. (The main reason I won't let the skate tech "level the boot" - he'll belt-sand them off.)
I also have my last name and the most recent sharpening date written on the blade plate in Sharpie.
Those glitter-encrusted soles make me itchy, lol.
I didn't know they did that - very cool! I never thought about last name or last sharpening date.
one time i skated a whole session with a quarter in the bottom of my skate! sorry that was slightly off topic but i felt the need to share.
The history of my ROH, with a line through the changes 1/2 (starting out), 3/8 (skating on crappy ice), 9/16 (my patch days), 5/8 (returning to skating--and I didn't care because I was going to sell the skates and use my Harlicks), 1/2 (back to where I started after I couldn't get the Harlicks to work out). This is how my tech tracks me, cause I'm all into experimentation and stuff.
There's also a string of numbers that I don't know what it means, and a piece of masking tape. Bottom of the skates is the tech's world. I don't ask, I don't touch.

:laugh3
I'll always check there for loose change now!
I have Klings so I have the almost the same as Isk8NYC with the Klingbeil flower, boot creation date and my last name (maiden name) and snow seal.
I like the idea with the date for last sharpening. I will start doing that.
Just sno-seal on mine with silicone under the blades :)
Blades, screws, slicone, and Sno-Seal... nuttin' more!
