The John Wilson Gold Seal REV combines the legendary Gold Seal blade profile with the Revolution carbon fiber chassis, delivering elite-level performance in a lighter, more advanced package. Built for competitive skaters performing triple and quadruple jumps, the Gold Seal REV preserves the blade's renowned 8-foot rocker and tapered geometry while leveraging carbon composite technology for reduced weight, improved energy transfer, and enhanced thermal comfort.
Revolution Carbon Fiber Chassis
The REV (Revolution) chassis replaces traditional steel stanchions and mounting hardware with a frame composed of 100% unidirectional carbon fibers, compression-molded with a thermosetting resin. This construction delivers remarkable strength-to-weight performance, providing the structural rigidity that elite jumpers require while significantly reducing overall blade weight. The lighter chassis means less mass to accelerate on every takeoff, directly contributing to increased jump height and reduced fatigue. Carbon fiber is also a poor thermal conductor, creating a natural insulating barrier between the ice and the skater's boot that helps keep feet warmer during long sessions.
Gold Seal Blade Profile
The REV version maintains the Gold Seal's signature characteristics: an 8-foot rocker radius, tapered and side-honed blade geometry, and high stanchions for deep edge clearance. The tapered profile provides increased bite at the takeoff and landing zones while reducing drag through the stroking area. The cross-cut toe rake delivers reliable ice grip, and the side-honed edges produce the sharp, defined angles that elite freestylers demand for precision edge work.
Trusted at the Highest Levels
Manufactured in Sheffield, England, the Gold Seal REV is worn by World and Olympic competitors who require both proven blade geometry and the performance advantages of modern materials technology.
