You may also just contact your sharpener - they might need nothing more than paramounts require (which is more adjustable than a traditional skate holder).

That's what I thought, too (the paramount thing). I am going to ask soon, I just haven't gotten to know many people at the new rink I'm at.

These blades are VERY pretty and VERY expensive. I had a skating student with these blades and I say: BUY WITH CAUTION!!! You have to have a special grinding tool to sharpen them. She had to pay a lot of money to have her skates sent out and have them specially sharpened.

It's not just the blades with rhinestones - I've got Matrix Legacy and the local skate sharpener couldn't sharpen them so I have to go further afield.
