Tough Cut (StaySharp)

Hockey skate sharpening and profiling: drop-off, shop visit or mail-in

Tough Cut is a skate sharpening and blade profiling service based in East Nashville, run under the StaySharp name by a hockey coach who writes that he has coached in Nashville for eight years. It describes itself as a hockey skate sharpening and profiling service that serves skaters nationwide, and it has no storefront address on its page.

A sharpening costs $16: it is done on an Elite S4 sharpener with diamond-coated wheels, inspected and honed by hand, and finished with Conicity’s EdgeHone. Profiling costs $50 on an Elite eP3 profiler that uses CNC-machined templates. Paid memberships add unlimited sharpening and free profiling.
