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. We didn’t think that was fair. Our goal was simple: make every blade as good as the best one in the batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s what we did to get there:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlat steel from the start:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlade steel is usually supplied on a roll, which makes it wavy and pre-curved.
