The Viking Eclipse is a replacement undercarriage for Noren-style ice skates, designed to give you a reliable connection between your boots and the ice. It’s aimed at outdoor and natural-ice skaters who want a sturdy, direct feel underfoot.
Built from a specially formulated steel alloy, the Eclipse frame sits 40 mm from mounting plate to blade edge, which helps maintain stability and consistent edge contact as you glide. The high hardness of the steel—62 HRC—means the blades hold their edge longer, reducing the need for frequent sharpening and keeping your stride smooth.
Hardness measured at 62 HRC refers to the Rockwell Hardness C scale, a common way to rate how resistant steel is to wear and deformation. At this level, the steel strikes a balance between edge retention and toughness, ensuring your blades stay sharp through many outings without becoming overly brittle.
