John Wilson Blades Pattern 99 Traditional

Attempted copies to replicate this iconic model continue to fail. The heat treatment process is part of what makes the blade so responsive on the ice, compounded with a lower stanchion height for increased stability and control. If deciding between this or a Gold Seal, please take into account your skating tendencies; particularly with knee bend and how quickly you prefer to hit your toe picks.

If you want to hit your picks quicker, this blade is your best option. 

This blade design is specifically engineered for those who are a bit stiffer and explosive in their skating technique, with a very forgiving sweet spot when executing spins.
