Sometime to get things done right, you have to do it yourself. That’s where Howies Honing Stones come into play. Whether you’re spending all day sharpening skates or tossing one in your bag to smooth a few nicks after the big game, taking care of your equipment is important. You’re the type of player that knows that the only way to keep getting top notch performance out of those lucky skates is to do some routine maintenance. Sometimes the game is about helping out your equipment, just as those skates helped you toe- drag your way into your second hatty of the season. Howies fine, tear drop, and coarse honing stones help your skates keep on going long after others are hung up.
