Figure skate blades
Figure skates are different compared to ice hockey skates. They use a different blade width and they also have toe picks (master picks and a drag pick). Most figure skate blades are parallel like ice hockey skates; there are however some more expensive models that use a completely different shape.
Regular: Skate blade is parallel.
