  • Patent number: 5445050
    Abstract: A hand-held ice skate blade sharpener tool is provided which includes a configuration for honing, concurrently, the hollow groove and the side walls of an ice skate blade, to dress the edges of the blade in situ, at any convenient time. The tool has a guide to accept the blade's hollow surface and its edges, and to align same with the honing surfaces of the tool. An extruded housing of plastic or like material surrounds the honing surfaces and is of a shape to provide a grasping surface while protecting the hand from the sharp edges of the skate blade. The entire assembly is relatively light weight and relatively small, thereby rendering the device reasonably inexpensive to manufacture. The tool is intended to be disposable.
