Abstract: Ice skate blades each having a main portion and an enlarged head are cut from contiguous areas of steel stock by cuts spaced such that each cut forms the upper edge of the main portion of one blade and the lower edge of the main portion of the next blade with the head portions cut alternately from those portions of the stock extending beyond the ends of the main portions. An upwardly extending lug is secured to the upper edge of one end of each blade to extend longitudinally towards the other end and a bolt is secured to or engages the other end of the upper edge and extends in the same direction as the lug. The upper edge of the blade is received in a downwardly facing groove in a skate superstructure with the groove having a slot at one end of the superstructure to receive the lug and with the bolt extending through a hole in the other end of the superstructure and having a fixing portion on the free end of the bolt for securing the blade in the groove.
