The Dead-Flat Hockey Skate Stone & Sparx Honing Stone Upgrade—Built with Olympic Speed Skating Technology

Whether you call it a hockey skate stone, a skate honing stone, or a Sparx honing stone, ordinary locker-room blocks share the same geometry flaw: soft vitrified clay stones wear into curved grooves, thin pocket diamond cards flex under thumb pressure, and soft rubber gummy stones bow into your hollow—microscopically rolling over the crisp bite edge you just paid to grind.

Salty Gold Supply Co. inside the Utah Olympic Oval is the only skate shop in Salt Lake City—and in the world—that uses Olympic Champion Speed Skating technology to deburr hockey and figure skate blades. Now you can keep that exact pro-shop finishing plate next to your home Sparx skate sharpener, in your hockey bag, or in your coaching bench kit.

Why MIC-6 Cast Aluminum + Monocrystalline Diamond Beats Clay, Gummy & Card Stones

Salty Gold MIC-6 Diamond Honing Stone vs. Ordinary Skate Stones
Stone Type Flatness Over Time 60+ HRC Steel Cut Edge-Roll Risk
Salty Gold MIC-6 Diamond Stone ($36.99 / $69.99 Pro Kit) Poured stress-relieved MIC-6 cast aluminum; never dishes or flexes Cuts Bauer Pulse/Fly-X, CCM XS, Step & True in 1–2 light strokes Lowest — contacts 100% flush on the vertical side wall
Soft Clay / Oxide Stones (Howies, A&R, Standard Sparx Stone) Wears into a concave center groove within weeks Glazes & skates on modern ultra-hard stainless steel High once grooved — curved lip wraps over your hollow edge
Thin Stamped-Steel Pocket Diamond Cards (DMT-style) Thin sheet metal or plastic backing flexes under thumb load Fast cut, minimal finger clearance along tall holders Moderate if thumb pressure bows the thin plate
Rubber / Gummy Stones Compressible elastomer block Polishes foil burrs only; cannot flatten goalpost nicks High if pressed hard — best reserved for coated/black steel

Runner Steel Compatibility & Proper Flat Technique

  • Uncoated Stainless Steel (Recommended Everyday + Bench Use): Ideal for Bauer Fly-X, Bauer Pulse, TUUK LS3/LS5, CCM XS Stainless, Step Steel Standard, True Stainless, JRZ, and uncoated Jackson Ultima, MK, and John Wilson figure blades. Wipe blades dry, hold the MIC-6 face 100% flush against the flat vertical side wall (never angled into the hollow!), and make 1–2 feather-light passes heel-to-toe on each side.
  • Coated & Black Steel Note (STEP BlackSteel, Bauer Pulse Ti / Fly-Ti, CCM XS Black): Any rigid diamond or mineral stone rubbed broadly along dark DLC or titanium side coatings will cosmetically scratch the dark finish. For black/coated blades, use a soft rubberized hone or leather strop for routine post-sharpening deburring, and keep our 600/1200 MIC-6 Diamond Stone in your bag strictly for emergency mid-game goalpost nick repair right on the damaged spot.

I’ve been working on skates for over 30 years, and these are the best burr stones I’ve ever used. I’ve been using Salt Gold Supply’s 140/400 and 600/1200 stones on my boys’ hockey skates, and I’ve been extremely impressed with how consistent and reliable they are.

The 140/400 is my go-to for regular use, and I’ll reach for the 600 grit when I’m working on rough nicks in the blade. Whether I’m removing a burr after sharpening, including a Sparx sharpening, or touching up a nicked edge with the stone I keep in the hockey bag, they work incredibly well.

What really stands out is how flat these stones are. Keep the stone flat against the blade, use light pressure, and stay consistent with your strokes. The burr comes off easily without rolling the edge.

After three decades of maintaining skates, I appreciate a tool that does its job this well. If you’re looking for a hockey skate stone, I highly recommend these.

Thanks Mike! Glad they're working great on the boys' skates. Appreciate you taking the time to write this up for other hockey parents and Sparx users.
