Sharpening ski edges with the Holmenkol Side Wall Planer Pro – The professional preparation for perfect ski edges
If you want to sharpen ski edges to racing standards, you need to lay the groundwork for a perfect result even before the actual filing. Modern racing and sports skis have sidewalls that, after several services, often protrude beyond the steel edge. This prevents even the best file from working cleanly. The Holmenkol Side Wall Planer Pro precisely and controllably removes the excess sidewall material. In professional ski service, ski racing, and World Cup service, this tool is therefore one of the most important aids available. Only an exposed steel edge allows for precise edge sharpening.
Sharpening ski edges begins with a perfectly exposed steel edge

Why the Side Wall Planer Pro is indispensable in race service
After several edge sharpenings, the sidewall often sits higher than the steel edge. If it's not trimmed back, the ski file will hit the plastic and only incompletely reach the steel.
The Holmenkol Side Wall Planer Pro creates exactly the necessary clearance – cleanly, controllably, and reproducibly.
The practical advantages:
- free accessibility of the steel edge
- even edge sharpening
- precise edge angles
- less wear on files and diamond files
- professional preparation for the entire ski service
This is precisely why sidewall removal is standard practice in ski racing before every high-quality edge sharpening.
More precision when sharpening skis
A correctly prepared sidewall improves the entire workflow in ski service. The file rests cleanly on the steel edge and works evenly along the entire length of the ski.
This ensures:
- more precise edge angles
- even material removal
- less effort
- clean grinding pattern
- optimal preparation for diamond files and polishing stones
Especially for racing skis or high-quality piste skis, this difference is immediately visible.
Why the Holmenkol Side Wall Planer Pro is superior to cheaper sidewall tools
Many simple sidewall knives or universal scrapers work imprecisely and can hardly be set reproducibly.
The Holmenkol Side Wall Planer Pro, however, convinces with:
- precise depth adjustment
- high-quality carbide blade
- stable aluminum construction
- smooth tool guidance
- consistent results even with frequent use
From our experience, a professional sidewall planer not only saves time but also improves the quality of every subsequent edge sharpening.
Our advice from Race Service
The Holmenkol Side Wall Planer Pro is the right choice for anyone who wants to perform their own ski service without compromise.
Ideally suited for:
- Racers
- FIS and DSV athletes
- Service technicians
- Ski clubs
- Coaches
- Ambitious skiers
Our practical tip: Always process the sidewall first. Then, sharpen the edge with a Holmenkol Racing File. After that, remove burrs with a Diamond File and finally perfect the edge with an Arkansas stone or grinding rubber. This exact procedure is also used in professional World Cup service.
Use & Care Instructions
Set the cutting depth carefully and work with several light strokes instead of high pressure. Only remove the sidewall material above the steel edge. After planing, plastic shavings should be removed before continuing with a file and diamond stone. This will achieve a clean and reproducible result.
