Master of PerfectionFor more than 300 years, John Wilson has crafted its figure skating blades with the optimal balance between high technology and high-touch hand finishing. With an unwavering commitment to research, design and technology, John Wilson crafts its figure skating blades from the highest steel quality to create the finest figure blade available. Every John Wilson figure skating blade is produced using laser technology for unmatched precision on the ice. The process commences with laser cutting to guarantee blade geometry accuracy to 0.004 inches (the thickness of a human hair). State of the art surface treatments and coatings ensure a premium quality figure skating blade. A Legacy of ExcellenceIn 1696, King Charles II became fascinated with ice skating and requested John Wilson, a noted toolmaker of that era, make a pair of figure skating blades for him—and the world of ice skating has not been the same since. The reputation of John Wilson grew, and in 1841, Queen Victoria instructed the company to make Prince Albert and her a pair of ice skates. Today, John Wilson continues to be the standard of excellence for skaters worldwide, offering an unsurpassed English elegance. Blade MaintenanceThe care of figure skating blades is no less important than that of boots, since the condition of edges is a key factor in skating performance. Blade guards should be worn as soon as skates leave the ice. This avoids scraping and chipping blade chrome, which leaves the steel underneath vulnerable to corrosion-causing moisture. After every skating session skates should remove blade guards, wipe blades dry and then use blade blankets. This protects skates during storage and absorbs any condensation that occurs as the blades return to room temperature. You also may consider applying a suitable oil repellant fluid to the figure skating blades and leave them out to air dry. Finally, to experience the figure skating blade's best performance, have your blades sharpened regularly by a trained technician.
