There are no circumstances of kicking, anywhere on the ice, or at any point in the game. The only rule that needs to be in place for kicking is that it should be a major or a match penalty, if you kick at another player.
As for the blade along the ice, you are left with the same problem of requiring video review to determine if and when the blade left the ice. No one lifts the blade on purpose to score, it doesn't require that subjectivity, nor that nuance to the rule.
Skates should be like knees and shin pads and butts and chins - if it goes off yours and in, good for you.
