A skate guard is disclosed which comprises a blade protector or guide bar (11) and a support block (12) slidable along the guide bar (11). The support block (12) slides in a longitudinal channel provided in the guide bar (11). The guide bar (11) is provided, at the toe end thereof, with a downwardly and rearwards facing clamping surface (28) adapted to engage the upwardly and forwards facing edge (29) of a blade, while the block (12) includes a downwardly and forwards facing clamping surface (36) which wedgingly urges the heel portion of the blade in the direction toward the guide bar. The force of a spring (38) urging the block (12) towards the toe portion of the guide bar maintains a firm engagement between generally flat and upwardly facing support portions (18) and (21) with the underside (19, 22) of the toe and heel plates, 20, 23, of the skate respectively. The guide bar (11) and the block (12) are so dimensioned that with the undersides (19, 22) resting firmly on the support portions (18, 21), the runner edge (15) of the blade of the skate is devoid of any contact with the guide bar whereby even a slightest dulling of the runner edge (15) is prevented. At the same time, the skate guard can be conveniently and quickly attached to or detached from a blade.
