  • Patent number: 3934287
    Abstract: A tool in its preferred form includes a body, a file carried by the body for filing the bottom and side edges of a ski, a scraping blade carried by the body to remove excess wax and filler and to press wax into the ski surface, and a cork block to serve as a handle and to polish a ski bottom surface. The body may be of any desired shape but is preferably right triangular in planform and shallow compared to its lateral and longitudinal dimensions. A first face has a seat for a file along its diagonal aft margin and a guide wall along its longitudinal side margin which guides the body for longitudinal movement along the ski with the file crossing the ski bottom diagonally. The forward end contains a seat to hold a scraper blade for scraping excess filler and wax from the bottom and for pressing wax into the ski surface. The cork block protrudes from the second face of the body to serve as a handle and also to polish the waxed ski surface.
