Sharpening shapes the blade across its width. Profiling shapes it along its length: how much steel touches the ice at any moment, and where.
Manufacturer facthighA profile is described by radius in feet. A larger radius is flatter and puts more blade on the ice; a smaller radius rocks more and puts less.
Stability, glide, straight-line speed.
Quicker turns, faster pivots, easier acceleration.
A single-radius profile applies one radius across the whole blade. A multi-radius profile joins several radii in sequence, so the heel, midfoot and toe can behave differently — a flatter middle for glide with a shorter radius at each end for agility, for example.

Pitch describes how far forward or back a profile places you over the blade.
No first-party pitch value is published for the profiles above, so BOXPLAY lists none.Older single-radius names such as Detroit and Toronto are still in circulation. They are stored in the knowledge base for completeness, without radii, until a first-party source documents them.
