A dull scraper is the most common reason a good wax job comes out badly. Once the edge rounds over, the scraper stops cutting and starts smearing — pushing wax along the base and burnishing it into the structure instead of removing it, which is the opposite of what scraping is for.
This sharpener guides the scraper down a central channel and across a milled blade, squaring the edge in a couple of passes. The blade is replaceable, so the tool does not become disposable when it eventually dulls.
It is made from tough, high-impact plastic and can be used in the hand or mounted to a bench. Bench mounting is worth it if you tune for a team: sharpening becomes something you do between every pair rather than something you put off.
Sharpen more often than feels necessary. A scraper that still looks fine will usually cut noticeably better after one pass.

Ideal scraper sharpener
After buying what was out there (garbage) and then making my own (better, but not perfect) I was delighted to see the ski man design and bought it…to my delight it is as awesome as I hoped it would be. Scraping wax with razor sharp scrapers is the best!!!

Works as advertised
Works as advertised. There are two screw holes that enable you to screw it down to your bench. I screwed my above where I wax, just above my head and it works well.

excellent product
An excellent sharpener that must be attached to a bench. It truely puts a nice sharp edge back onto a dull scraper. I highly recommend purchasing the large 5mm scraper because it is easier to run over the sharpeners file.

Wicked sharp scrapers
This tool works very well I restored my very dull scrapers back to great working condition. It is best ti secure it to your bench trying to hold it steady with one hand and pull the scraper through is not easy.
