Abstract

An ice skate blade assembly which has a blade holder to which an ice skate runner is removeably secured; the runner may be preshaped and may be disposable. The runner is formed as a thin replaceable flexible strip arranged to be secured to the holder. Attachment elements are provided in the front and the rear of the holder to hold the strip in place and to create tension along the (entire) length thereof. The rear attachment element is adapted so that a hook pivotally engages a hook attachment element so as to hold the runner in place, tension being applied by a nut engaging a threaded portion of the hook attachment element.
