Able to hold its edge up to 8 times longer than normal steel blades the tube has the highest bend retention of any blade on the market. In the past, national team skaters would sort through large batches of blades to find the few that were perfectly straight, leaving the rest to be sold to shops. Our goal was simple: make every blade as good as the best one in the batch.

Only two blades are ground at a time to prevent heat distortion. A smaller gap means less chance of warping. Secure setting process: While the glue dries over 14 hours, each blade is held at a minimum of nine points using custom jigs to preserve its bend.

Brilliance polish: The sides of the blade are polished to reduce friction when the blade touches the ice at steep lean angles. Too stiff and it can cause crashes. Too soft and it absorbs power.

Strong aluminum tube: The tube is made from 7075 T6 aluminum, which is why it has a natural silver finish. This grade of aluminum is extremely strong but difficult to anodize. The result of all this work is a short track blade that’s consistent, reliable, and ready for world-class racing.

Every blade in the batch is race-ready, no sorting required. Download Assembly & Mounting Instructions
