John Wilson Pattern 99 (REV) Blade

The John Wilson Pattern 99 REV brings the Revolution carbon fiber chassis to the iconic Pattern 99 blade profile, creating a lighter, more advanced version of one of figure skating's most distinctive elite blades. Designed for competitive skaters who prefer the Pattern 99's parallel geometry and straight-cut toe pick, the REV version reduces weight and fatigue while preserving the blade characteristics that have made the Pattern 99 a favorite of World and Olympic champions.

Revolution Carbon Composite Technology

The Revolution chassis is composed of 100% unidirectional carbon fibers, compression-molded with a thermosetting resin to produce a blade frame that is one of the lightest on the ice. This carbon composite construction reduces weight while maintaining the structural support that elite jumpers need for powerful takeoffs and stable landings. The lighter frame reduces skater fatigue during long programs and extended training sessions, while the improved energy transfer from a rigid carbon chassis helps maximize jump height and rotational speed.

Pattern 99 Profile Preserved

The REV version maintains the Pattern 99's signature parallel blade profile, 8-foot rocker radius, and straight-cut toe pick. The parallel design provides the stiffness and uniform edge feel that Pattern 99 skaters depend on, while the 8-foot rocker delivers the stable, forgiving balance point that distinguishes this blade from 7-foot rocker alternatives. Low stanchions provide the increased control and steadiness that characterize the traditional Pattern 99 skating experience.

Thermal Insulation Benefit

Carbon fiber is naturally a poor thermal conductor, which creates a practical benefit for skaters: the Revolution chassis acts as an insulating layer between the ice and the boot, helping keep feet warmer than traditional all-steel blade assemblies. This is especially valuable during long practice sessions in cold rink environments.
