The basis for sharpening the family's slalom skis is really only a file holder, a file and a sharpening point. Then it is of course easier if you also have a good ski holder to attach the skis to when you sharpen them.
We start with the holder for the file & the sharpener. We recommend a holder with a built-in screw clamp, it will be more stable and easier to use than a file clamp. Choose a holder that has an 88 degree angle, it is suitable for all skiing.
Here you will find our various file holders:

For the file holder, you need a regular file that you use to get the new angle on the steel edge and file your dull steel edges. We recommend a medium file with around 16 lines per centimeter.

You use the file quite sparingly and mostly if the edges have become really dull. You use a sharpener more frequently to maintain sharpness. With a sharpener in grain size 400 it will be very sharp.
