    FAQS - Bladetech Hockey blades

    1. How do I find my holder style and size?
    2. What are the differences between the blade finishes?
    3. What is the radius/profile/height of your blades?
    4. How do I install my new skate blades?

    1. HOW DO I FIND MY HOLDER STYLE AND SIZE?

     

     

    Blade holder style and size can be found on the white, plastic holder attached beneath the boot of your skate.

    For the "Holder Style" you will see it written on the holder in large writing.  Two examples are: "Lightspeed Edge" or "Speedblade XS".

    For the "Holder Size", you have to look for a very small 3-digit number, engraved in the holder, usually beneath the heel of the boot.  The picture below displays where you can find this number. In this example, the correct size is "280".

    2. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE BLADE FINISHES?

     

     

    Bladetech blades are offered in 2 distinct steel finishes, which will be outlined below.  All blades have a base of Mirror Stainless Steel.

    • Mirror Stainless Steel - high quality steel polished to a shiny mirror finish. Extra polishing helps with blade glide for increased speed, and looks incredible
    • Black Diamond DLC - Diamond Like Carbon coating which makes a blade virtually indestructible.  Extra hard, like a diamond, this coating is the same material the military uses to protect armoured cars. 

     

    3. WHAT IS THE RADIUS/PROFILE/HEIGHT OF YOUR BLADES?
