The term 'PART OF AN ICE SKATE' can be broken down into two crossword solutions: BLADE (5 letters) and TOEPICK (7 letters). The BLADE is the flat, metal part of an ice skate that comes in contact with the ice. It is usually made of stainless steel and is curved slightly to help the skater move more easily. The toe pick is a small, sharp point at the front of the BLADE that helps the skater to jump and spin. It is also used to help the skater stop quickly.
