1. An ice-skate blade for use by a skater to skate upon an ice surface, said ice-skate blade comprising: a) a center section positioned between a front section and a rear section, said center section being devoid of grooves cut into the interior of the ice-skate blade; b) a front indentation portion positioned in the front section of the ice-skate blade and incorporating one or more front grooves cut into the interior of the ice-skate blade, an outer surface of the ice-skate blade in the front section being aligned at an intersection thereof with the center section, the outer surface of the ice-skate blade in the front section incorporating a curve arcing upwards from the center section and each apex of said one or more front grooves collectively forming a portion of the outer surface of the ice-skate blade in the front section, said outer surface of the front indentation portion being operable to engage with the ice surface devoid of any gouging of the ice surface when any portion of the front indentation portion contacts the ice surface; and c) a rear indentation portion positioned in the rear section of the ice-skate blade and incorporating one or more rear grooves cut into the interior of the ice-skate blade, the outer surface of the ice-skate blade in the rear section being aligned at an intersection thereof with the center section, the outer surface of the ice-skate blade in the rear section incorporating a curve arcing upwards from the center section and each apex of said one or more rear grooves collectively forming a portion of the outer surface of the ice-skate blade in the rear section, said outer surface of the rear indentation portion being operable to engage with the ice surface devoid of any gouging of the ice surface when any portion of the rear indentation portion contacts the ice surface; whereby the skater can regain balance upon the ice-skate blade when the skater becomes unbalanced upon the ice-skate blade and the skater can perform basic ice skating skills upon the ice-skate blade.
