How to pick a blade and a good sharpener?

Picking a good person to sharpen your skates is a MUST! Unfortunately, it is hard to find out who is good, and who is really ruining your equipment. I have heard a coach say, “oh I always use this person,” and know for a fact that sharpener ruined at least 3 pair of blades in one summer.
