Ellipse Profiles – The next revolution in skate profiling?

[Paluce 26]

Quads in general with a 6’ toe naturally take a lot of steel off the toe. That’s the complaint sometimes with those profiles…

This is my favorite profile right now. It’s the competitive edge 0.5/1.  The radius is continuously changing like an ellipse. Except the the profile is marked with the point where it hits 8.5, 9, 9,5 …..11.5, 12, 12.5.  
What I like is that you know what you’re getting now.  Not like the ellipse where it’s mystery.   Also don’t lose the toe on this profile like on a quad (they take too much off the toe in my opinion).   It’s like an exaggerated 9.5/10.5, but smoothly blended all the way through.  Btw, the blade on the profile bar is only a size 3. A size 9 or 10 would extend about 1” more on either end.  I do a lot of AAA and Junior players with this and it’s a winner for sure.

Hi.
I have a pair of mystery profiled blades that I purchased while back on a second hand pair of skates, LOVE the profile. Is there any way to find out what that profile is, and copy it? 

Thanks.

I’ve put blades on my CMM (coordinate measurement machine)  and it will give me points and radii to reverse engineer and find out what profile is on there.

What's a CMM, who has one of those? 
Thanks

Different….   The Quad 0.5 has 4 zones.   The competitive edge 0.5/1 profile in the picture above is continuously variable (infantile number of radii). Like an elipse, but I can tell you the radio at specific points along the profile.  MUCH better.

Who does the Competative Edge, where can one get them done? Is it a Pro Sharp profile?

Coordinate Measurement Machine.  no hockey store of pro shop  will have one. It’s an engineering tool for part verification/validation. Also used to reverse engineer.  I happen to have one that I use for the profile design and development.

CompetitiveEdgeHockey.ca  exclusive profile to them.   Nothing to do with Prosharp. DM me for more info

You could do it with this.

You can duplicate it. Sure,  But you won’t know what the profile is.  So in a few months or a year of sharpening, that profile will be lost and you won’t know what to profile to next year.

Hopefully their profile in fresh so can give them an actual profile, not something that has been reshaped by skate sharpening.
