Abrégé

A skate blade has a tube (1) featuring a complex radiused slot (5) in which the runner (3) is placed, thereby imparting the complex radius to the runner (3). A uniform quick mounting structure is also provided, whereby a mounting cup (8) attached to the tube (1) is secured to a skate boot by interaction between a retention jib (11) and a mounting plate (10) that is located on the boot. This provides a uniform and repeatable attachment. Other features include harmonic dampening, adhesive retention features, boot alignment features.

A skate blade bending apparatus (35) may feature a unitary body (1) with a securement structure (10, 15) which holds a skate blade on its side, parallel to the ground, and a means for exerting downward force (8) on the side of the skate blade. The securement structure may feature movable anvils 15 which will change the imparted radius of curvature imparted upon the blade. Indicia (29) may be utilized to position said anvils (15) to ensure the process is repeatable on different blades. A handle (14) used with the means for exerting downward force (8) may be adjustable. The means for exerting downward force (8) and anvils (15) may be interchangeable with other shapes of similar structures for greater versatility.
