Abstract
A sharpening device is provided for an edge of a ski which consists of a handle to be gripped by a hand of a person. A pair of Y-shaped flexible arms extend from the handle. A pair of sharpening members are also provided. A structure is for holding the sharpening members at reverse overlapping angles on distal ends of the arms. When used it will always result in a ski ,edge which is smooth and burr free. The sharpening members will make a proper bevel edge angle no matter what direction the device is held.
