Preferred embodiments of the invention include a skate blade made from a single piece of unitary material. The unitary blade advantageously facilitat es the blade manufacturing process and avoids possible weakness introduced by multiple pieces. Certain embodiments of the skate blade may be formed to attach to a skate boot without heating or twisting of the blade. For example , the skate blade may include at least one tab or flange that may be bent to secure the blade to the boot. Certain embodiments of the skate blade preferably comprise a titanium material, such as ASTM-F136 titanium. In certain embodiments, a blade fixation assembly includes locking screws havin g a threaded body to engage the bottom of a boot and a threaded head to engage grooved portions of the blade.
