What this place is
Hockey skate sharpening and profiling, based in East Nashville, booked online; no storefront address published.
Tough Cut is a hockey sharpening and profiling service run under the StaySharp name by a hockey coach who writes that he has coached in Nashville for eight years. There is no storefront: it is made for players who plan their sharpening ahead, not for a walk-in on the way to a game.
What sets it apart is the record-keeping. Its BladeBase app keeps the hollow, the profile and the ice time of each set of blades, so a player with more than one pair, or a parent keeping track of a growing player’s steel, can see what was done last time. Members can also buy and trade used skates and steel in its own marketplace.
It suits serious players and teams more than casual skaters, and it serves skaters outside Nashville by mail. It is a hockey service; figure skaters will find the city’s figure shops a better fit.
Sharpens: hockey, profiling / contouring. Not stated: goalie, figure, speed / long-track, recreational & rental.
