• Answer:

  I just switched from an MK Gold Star to a Jackson Matrix. The steel on the Matrix is a stainless (more nickel in them) that brings two slight results, they have a different drag on the ice, and the edge will never be as sharp as a non stainless blade. I believe the Parmounts are stainless too. As sharpening goes, the Matrix comes with two blade runner sets and them alone could be sharpened with conventional holders but you'd end up removing the runner each sharpen (not desirable). You should ask your sharpener if a hockey skate holder they know of will hold the Parmount blades, it should so that would be important if you were out of the area and needed sharpening. The issues of a different glide and less of an edge can be handled with a change in hollow of the grind on bottom (the size of circle used to create the two edges, that is referred to as depth of hollow)
