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.

An example loosening-resistant blade mounting bracket for an ice skate includes a platform having one or more slot configured to receive a first fastener therethrough for attaching the platform to the bottom of a skate boot. One or more riser is provided substantially perpendicular on the platform. The riser has at least one opening configured to receive a second fastener therethrough for attaching the riser to a skate blade. A set screw may be provided on the at least one riser to tighten the riser against a mounting hump on the skate blade to reduce movement between the at least one riser and the mounting hump.

A blade measuring apparatus (21) to measure the radius and bend of skate blades along the longitudinal plane of the skate blade runner features a one-piece frame (1), thermally non-conductive handles (5), and adjustable, replaceable, and interchangeable magnetic force application components (9, 10) and assemblies.
