Zandstra Buyer's Guide

All of the Zandstra blades are made with high-quality stainless steel which come pre-sharpened from the factory. These blades are all meant to be mounted with cross-country ski bindings for use with pre-owned skate ski boots on the ice! This combo results in a genuine clap skate feeling. All the blades come in a variety of sizes to best match your boot size!

Nordic Blades

From top to bottom, these blades are listed in rank of most 'convenient' to least.

The NIS blade is by far the most attractive model to customers using (you guessed it) a NIS plate style attachment. The binding slides right on with no hardware required. Adjustable to several positions to best fit your boot and performance.

The Nordic blade is the next best using adjustable nut/bolt style hardware. It may be a bit of hassle to remove your binding but you can do it an endless amount of times.

The Tango blade is the least convenient but cheapest model. Using self-tapping screws, you have a finite amount of times that the binding can be removed. It also has per-determined positions for the binding.

The Competition blade is similar to the Nordic model using a nut/bolt system to secure the binding but is a special blade best used on man-made ice. It is more expensive and for expert nordic skaters.
