Multitool for sharpening steel edges

How multitools work

Multitools are more convenient and easier to use than fixed tools. They provide precise results even for beginners and are a great way to quickly maintain steel edges without advanced equipment.

Advantages of multitools

• Easy to use – suitable even for beginners.
• A single tool can handle most sharpening tasks.
• Perfect for families with multiple skiers of different ages.
• Compact and convenient to have in the ski bag.

Limitations

Multitools are flexible but may have some limitations. They are often adapted for specific sizes of files, and there might be a lack of space for really fine diamond files. For competitive skiers and those who want full control, fixed tools can be a better complement.

When are multitools best suited?

• As a first tool for beginners.
• For families who want a simple, all-in-one tool.
• As a backup in the ski bag during trips or competitions.

Tips from us

A multitool is not a replacement for a complete toolset, but it is an excellent complement. We recommend always having one in the ski bag in case an edge gets damaged and needs quick sharpening on the spot.
