Its around 25km - but there are hourly busses (at least in summer) from the train station in Sierre. Price for the bus is around 5€ The bus takes around 50minutes, a cab would need 40-45minutes depending on traffic.

He is getting ready many kits, as well as a new, secret weapon...( for the tooltonic)... supposed to give an icecut power to the edge... cannot wait to see it! Its not on his site yet, but many race team already have it he told me

Great. Based on my experience with a host of devices for edge sharpening, Tooltonic comes out as the best and most practical. Taking into accout its multiple functions it is also the cheapest. Otherwise you have to buy special devices for the various functions which adds up to considerable amounts of money.

I can not publish pictures which are still secret :roll: but i can quarantee that this tool makes edges so freaking sharp that you can carve on pure ice. One has to be very carefull when handling board after using tool 8O

But another note, there is another GREAT tool with Tooltonic :D
All know famous rotating diamond file, right, it has files marked as 400 which is great for normal casual carver for finalizing sharpening or keeping edges in optimum conditions. But now there is also 200 version available, diamonds are rougher so they eat (slightly) more edges. I have now skiped files almost completely cause with this rougher rotating diamond i can really sharpen edges and then finalizin them with 400 :wink:

Nils and Pokkis, I think a year ago there was an electric sharpener put on the site of Tooltonic with some pictures of it. Is this the 'secret' weapon where you are talking about? I think it is.

Greets, Hans.

electric>

Post by nils » Tuesday 24 January 2006, 19:13

no hans, unfortunately the electric was just a proto, and he needed loads of cash to make a expensive production so he cancelled it for now!

Stay tuned!

Okay, you make me very curious. I am very pleased with my Tooltonic for now. We will see at the ECS.
