TECHNOLOGY

Milling a thin and narrow blade out of a metal block is highly difficult machining process. Yamaichi Special Steel's renowed top-notch metalworking equipment and technical expertise enable us to cut a blade with superior precision that has delivered results on the world's biggest stages.

For All Figure Skaters Aiming for the Top

Traditional Blades

Welded Structure

Prone to Breakage and Bending, Requires Frequent Blade Sharpening, Uneven Quality.

Traditional Blades

・Lacks the strength to handle intense impacts from triple and quadruple jumps due to the welding of three separate components, often bending or breaking under pressure.

・Often suffer from inconsistencies among each product, having few millimeters of variation in the weld position or a few degrees of angle difference.

YS BLADES

Single-Unit Structure

Unbreakable, Unbendable, and Great Sharpness Consistent Equal Quality

YS BLADES

・Carved from a single block of special steel with impressive flexibility and durability, providing long-term and consistent support to skaters.

・Crafted by a five-axis machining center in a temperature-controlled environment ensuring uniformity across every item.

Secrets of Craftmanship Upending Conventional Wisdom

<Material>
Flexible and Strong

We conducted rigorous testing to find best steel that is both flexible to better resist bending and impacts but also highly durable.

< Flexibillity Comparison Test >

By applying pressure to the metal piece in the same direction, we tested how flexible our material is compared to the material used for traditional models

Traditional Models
Immediate breakage
YS BLADES

Bent up to 99 °
without breaking

Crafting Blades without Welding

Creating one-pieced blades by carving a single block of steel
