A scraper for removing wax from the base of a ski includes an elongated rigid tubular member and a flat rigid generally rectangular blade projecting from the side of the tubular member between the ends thereof. The blade has a pair of parallel scraping edges extending at right angles from the tubular member at locations spaced from the opposite ends thereof. When the scraper is positioned with one of its scraping edges crosswise on a ski base and with the adjacent end of the tubular member engaging the edge of the ski, the tubular member can functioin as both a handle and a guide member for guiding the scraper along the ski. Bluntly pointed end caps are mounted to the opposite ends of the tubular member which are contoured to fit snugly in a ski base guide groove. When one of the end caps is engaged and moved along the guide groove, it effectively scrapes wax from the groove without injuring the groove or the ski base generally.
A scraper for scraping wax from a ski base of the type having a longitudinal guide groove, said scraper comprising a flat rigid blade having at least one straight scraping edge, an elongated rigid member mounted to said blade and extending in a direction generally perpendicular to said edge, said member having an end segment extending beyond and overhanging said edge to enable said member to function both as a handle and as a guide for guiding the blade along said ski base and an end cap mounted to an end of said member, said end cap having a relatively small diameter tip that is contoured to fit in and scrape said guide groove.
A scraper for scraping wax from a ski base of the type having a longitudinal guide groove, said scraper comprising an elongated rigid member, a first hollow end cap removably mounted to one end of said member, said first end cap having a smoothly rounded generally pointed tip and a hole through the tip into the first end cap, a second hollow end cap removably mounted to the opposite end of said member, said second end cap having a smoothly rounded generally pointed tip and a hole through said tip into said second end cap and a flat rigid blade extending from one side of said member, said blade having a first scraping edge extending substantially at a right angle from said member at a location spaced from one end thereof.
