How to sharpen skis
It’s important to routinely sharpen your skis to keep them in top condition. A gummy stone is ideal for mild issues. Gummy stones are long-lasting, made of rubber and can be used to eliminate burrs and rust along the edges and bases of your skis.
Diamond stones are intended for recreational skiers to polish their edges to achieve a fine finish. If your tails or tips need to be de-burred, or if case hardening is making it harder to fly over the snow, a diamond stone can help.
The Swix Phantom R Edge File Holder is ideal for recreation and racing. It has roll bearings and can tune edges that are made of steel. You’ll never be forced to choose an angle that doesn’t fit because this tool is equipped to file six different angles.
