SNOLI Arkansas Stone Hard Grit 800
Sharpening ski edges with the Snoli Arkansas Stone very hard grit 800
If you want to achieve more than just a sharp edge when sharpening ski edges, you should look into edge finishing. This is where the Snoli Arkansas Stone very hard grit 800 comes into play. This natural stone is used in professional race service to smooth the edge after filing and before the final high-gloss finish, remove micro-scratches, and create the basis for maximum edge grip.
Based on our experience in race training and ski service, an Arkansas stone with grit 800 is one of the most useful tools for ambitious skiers. It works finer than conventional sharpening stones but still removes enough material to visibly refine the edge. The result is a cleaner, smoother, and more precise ski edge – especially on hard slopes and icy conditions.

Why the Arkansas Stone grit 800 is so often used in ski service
Many skiers invest a lot of time in sharpening ski edges, but underestimate the importance of post-processing.
Even with high-quality tools, small sanding marks and micro-scratches appear after filing. These affect turn initiation and smooth running more than many people believe.
The Snoli Arkansas Stone grit 800 helps to:
- reduce sanding marks
- remove burrs
- make the edge more even
- create the basis for a professional finish
- improve edge grip on hard slopes
In the World Cup, the edge is not just made sharp – it is systematically refined. An Arkansas stone of this grit was developed precisely for this intermediate step.
Tangible benefits on snow and ice
More precise edge grip
The edge grips more evenly and predictably on hard snow surfaces.
Smoother ride at speed
A cleanly polished edge reduces vibrations and ensures a calmer ride.
More direct power transfer
The ski reacts more precisely to pressure build-up and load changes.
Better turn behavior
The ski releases from the turn more harmoniously while remaining aggressive on the edge.
Ideal preparation for race finish
Perfect as a step before an Arkansas stone grit 1500 or a very fine diamond stone.
The difference to cheap sharpening stones
Many inexpensive sharpening stones work for rough jobs. However, when it comes to precision, their limitations become apparent.
The Snoli Arkansas Stone grit 800 offers:
- significantly finer surface processing
- controlled material removal
- more precise work
- longer durability
- professional racing quality
Those who only maintain their skis once per season may hardly notice the difference. Those who train regularly or value perfect edge grip will notice the advantage on the very first turns.
