Carbon parallel blades

The benchmark for edge quality.

Carbon steel blades remain the reference standard for skaters who prioritize precision and control. They are known for producing clean, well-defined edges that translate into strong grip and a very direct connection with the ice.

One of their defining characteristics is feel. Carbon steel offers a more responsive and controlled sensation underfoot, allowing skaters to confidently execute turns, steps, and jump takeoffs with accuracy. This level of feedback is especially valued in more technical skating.

These blades also provide a quieter, more dampened glide. The material absorbs vibration differently, resulting in a smoother, less pronounced sound on the ice.

Carbon steel requires regular care to maintain performance. Proper drying after each session is important, and edges need consistent upkeep to preserve their sharpness and quality.
