Looks at his pic, it says 15-20 min.

Wow. They have you bake them for a long time comapred to other skates. For example, the Super Tacks and JetSpeed FT1 you only bake for a couple of minutes. I think Bauer is about the same, a few minutes. I'm kinda shocked they quote 20 min at 180 degrees!

I may just pick these up to do a video review. I recently reviewed Step, all versions, for the CCM SB 4.0 on a JetSpeed FT1. It wild be interesting to see how these compare. Are they are tall as factory or taller like Step? I like the added height so I hope they are tall.

I'm sorry, but this doesn't make sense. If I have a LS Edge holder it can accept LS 2/3/4 steel. LS 2 steel has an entirely different profile than LS 3/4. By default, you have to have some standard I imagine.

What is the default profile on the steel? 10ft?

My assumption is you will get your blades sharpened less often thus having a much longer blade life. But overall, once you hit a specific point, you would swap the steel as the flare would be insignificant.

Are any well-known professionals using these? Are they approved for use in NHL and such?

Agreed. Steel quality has gotten better but no major changes have really evolved since the Paul Coffey era. He was the last player I know of that was known to constant play with this skate design. Profiles, steel types, holders, CAG, ROH, you name it. He tried it.

I recently talked to someone who was using custom steel that was wider than normal. I forgot the name of the company but someone pointed me to this product https://flareskateblade.com Has anyone seen or used these? I am fascinated by the idea of wider steel. Note: This steel is not the same as the person I skated with using the custom wider steel. Maybe someone knows of the other companies name? The steel was about 1mm wider and it did not flare like this brand.

I really like the FBV, but whenever I lose an edge I can barely skate whereas with a traditional ROH I only lose some bite but can still skate.
