The stainless steel skates have blades made of stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion and at the same time hard enough to provide a good quality ride on ice. This type of steel is ideal for beginners and recreational skaters who are not going for high performance, but also want a durable and low maintenance skate. Stainless steel tends to wear out faster than carbon steel, but its advantage lies in its resistance to external influences such as moisture or salt.
