Yep, I picked up Step Steel Blacksteel on ebay last night for my Tukk LS Edge holders for cheaper than if a local US shop would of carried them. About 125.00 shipped from canada vs $149 or 169.99 plus tax in a shop here in US. I'm excited for the steel!!

I have the VH Skates. Got them a few months ago. They are super comfortable. I need to wear a Junior skate because my foot size is just a tad shy of the Senior skates. Due to wearing a Junior skate, True does not produce their custom skate holder for Junior skates. Therefore I can't have step steel. I have the Tukk LightSpeed Edge with Bauer LS3 Steel. I hear I can get step steel for my Tukk holder but currently due to Patents they are not allowed to be sold in the United States. I would love to get my hands on Step Steel for my Tukk holder on my True Skate. Also being a recently retired goalie due to hip problems, I opted to get the shot protection on my True skates because I block shots out of pure habit. They add a tad more weight but worth it in the end. I took a hard shot to the actual tongue two nights ago which i felt for a split second but was able enough to spring ahead of the defenseman to get a breakaway goal. I doubt the shot protection had any play in that particular shot but I have taken shots to the ankle and spung loose right after without a problem. Some guys even asked me how the hell I was able to take such a shot and act like nothing happened. If you like to block shots like i do, I would get them. I also have the standard tounge as well. I was told by my local hockey shop that True Holder itself weighs more than a Tukk holder with the LS3 steel.... I am having a hard time believing that but who knows. They also said with having the Tukk holder on my skate, that if anything happened to my holder or steel, I can walk into just about any proshop to them fixed. If a skate would of had the True Holder, you better either have an extra pair of holders and steel on hand in case anything happened. Not every shop is going to have Steel for the True Holder. It's most likely going to need a custom order from True. So in the end, if i snag Step steel for my Tukk holder, I would be happy and keep the LS3 as a backup steel.
