Confused: MK vs. Wilson - Coronation Ace Blades

[mamaskate]

I was looking at Coronation Ace blades on myskatingmall, and I'm confused. I thought Coronation Ace was made by John Wilson, but I see some that are listed as MK Coronation Ace.

Can someone explain this to me?

JW and MK are owned by the same company.

JW is Coronation Ace. The MK version is the [MK] Professional.

Ok, so it is incorrect to call it "MK Coronation Ace."

Thanks!

Coronation Ace is JW.

Professional is MK.

So yea, it's technically incorrect.

However, they're basically the same company, so it really only matters when there are two very similar blades.

I wouldn't say MK Coronation Ace, because a inexperienced shop may second guess you and hand you an MK Professional, which is quite similar to a Cor Ace, but feels totally different when you put them on!

Most should ask catch that, though, for that very reason :)
