Overview
The Daoust SLM Carve Dark Runners are Daoust's elite steel option, built for players who demand maximum edge retention, durability, and glide. Featuring a carbon-based coating over steel, the Dark runners produce a harder, finer edge that holds longer and even creates better bite at the same hollow.
This carbon coating also reduces friction on the ice, allowing players to glide with less effort while maintaining explosive responsiveness on turns and stops.
IW can have your skate blades delivered profiled, sharpened, and game-ready with Elite Blade Performance technology! Choose custom profiles like Double, Triple, Quad, SCS, and Polaris to boost speed, stability, and agility. We offer various sharpening options and an Express Mail-In service. Select your profile and sharpening hollow when adding a blade to your cart.
