Unlike most skating blades, which are made from carbon steel, Paramount blades are made from a lightweight one-piece aluminum extrusion and stainless steel runner. These elements are stronger than carbon steel and make a high quality blade that needs to be sharpened less often than other figure skating blades. Also, since Paramount blades don't need to be sharpened as often as other figure skating blades, the blades last for longer periods of time than standard ice skating blades.
Figure skating champions, such as Rachael Flatt, use Paramount blades. Alexei Mishin, coach of Olympic Figure Skating Champion, Evgeni Plushenko, says that these blades are the blades of the future.
The price of Paramount blades is reasonable and models are available for ice dancers and for intermediate, advanced, and elite level figure skaters. The blades are available in a variety of colors.
