Step Steel ST Pro Runners for EBlade Pro & Prolite Plastic Holder - Pair Review

WOW

These blades are great. The edge holds tight and I was able to lean lower on my edges then any other blade I have used.

A nice upgrade

I picked these up after a shot bent one of the stock scalloped steel runners on my U+ Pro Reloadeds. The stock scalloped steel from CCM is somewhat lighter, but doesn't hold an edge nearly as well as the Step Steel. The scalloped steel is also more susceptible to breaking and bending than the solid Step Steel blades. I referee more than I play, so I tend to value reliability… read more more than achieving the absolute minimum weight. Since these also hold an edge better, I end up spending less on sharpenings, which keeps more of my ref income in my pocket.

Best Steel for the price!

I was a bit skeptical at first but I put these steels in my CCMU+12's and they are amazing! I normally get a 3/8 hollow and I couldn't believe how hard these cut into the ice commpaired the the stock ccm steels I used before. I had to chagne to a 1/2" hollow because the 3/8" felt too grabbby. I replaced the scalloped steels in my ccm skates which felt very soft and flexible when… read more out of the holder and these are very stiff, which equated to more energy transfer to the ice. The only thing to be aware of is that you will have to get these steels profiled before using them. I tried just to have them sharpened and the profile is way off from a stock ccm steel. felt more biased to the back. But Step Steel does add extra steel all the way through the blade just for this reason, to allow people to use their prefered profile and still have the benefits of a taller steel. I will be buying these again when I need new steel.

Great Replacement for Rocket Blades

I skate a few times a week and I dreaded sharpening or having my skates sharpened. The rocket blades may be lighter, but its tougher to get a nice sharp blade. I took a risk venturing away from stock CCM steel but i have not been disappointed.

The best runners, period.

Regardless of boot, be it any brand, any model, STEP STEEL runners ARE hands down the finest runners, period. I cannot emphasize this enough. Most individuals pay no attention to what comes from the factory. If only they knew. Further, most individuals have no idea of - the importance of - getting runners profiled (via template only!!!!!), but that's another story.......... The… read more quality of the steel, the processing, the forging of STEP STEEL so vastly surpasses that of any factory blade as to beggar description. The upshot.......... Vastly better durability more than anything else which is big. These runners hold an edge far longer than any other available, period. And when properly sharpened better glide. It's all in the metal and processing folks. You add this up and it's a no brainer. Do yourself a favor and buy a set. You have no idea what you're missing.
