  • IS JOHN WILSON A GOOD BRAND FOR ICE SKATING BLADES?

    There’s a reason that John Wilson blades are the preferred choice of ice skating champions around the world! There aren’t many brands that have the legacy and prestige of John Wilson in ice skating while still continuing to innovate as the sport evolves.

     

    The company’s illustrious 324-year history began when John Wilson, the royal toolmaker, crafted a pair of ice skates for King William III in 1696, and the brand has continued its journey of innovation and excellence since then.

     

    John Wilson’s dedication to its products is clear with every blade they produce, with a meticulous 55-step manufacturing process in place to ensure top-tier quality for all their blades — so it’s no wonder that they come with a global lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

     

    If you’re looking for a new pair of blades to help take your performance to the next level, you can absolutely trust John Wilson to help you get there.

  • WHICH JOHN WILSON BLADE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

    When it comes to choosing the right blade for you, your skating coach should help give you a good idea of what you need. There are two main options for skaters looking to upgrade to John Wilson blades.

     

    The Coronation Ace blade is potentially the world's most sought-after freestyle blade, renowned for its precision and quality. Crafted with a cross-cut tooth design and a finely milled toe rake, this blade has impeccable balance and precision.

     

    If you’re looking for an unparalleled spinning experience, the Gold Seal blade is an excellent choice. With a higher heel stanchion, unique compound radius and tapered/hollow ground features, these blades deliver sublime control, especially during intricate footwork and edge jumps. 

     

    What makes the Gold Seal even more special is its K-Pick design with an extra rake on the toe pick. This design provides an aggressive bite, ensuring a secure grip on the ice during picking manoeuvres. It’s no surprise that the Gold Seal is the most recommended blade by Russian trainers for freestyle and pairs skaters.
