Buy a gummy stone and just run it along the edges. I think the swix ones are green.

get a soft stone and run it down from tip to tail at 45*
I cut my fuckin hands all up on the sharp ass edges when I was bringing them home from getting mounted

you don;t really "cut" your edge.
But if they are brand new you might want to de tune under the boot a bit so they don;t snag on rails.
just use a rock and lightly rub it along the edge, don't do it too much you just want to dull that sharp feeling.

^there is an argument for dulling underfoot edges first.do you really think catching that sharp edge on a rail hard enough to make you bail is good for your skis? i doubt that twisting motion that the edge would get would be good for them. Some people swear by this, others by just sliding rails. but yeah, what ^^^he said. gummy stone.

just ski on them and they will detune all on their own. in my opinion, there is no reason to take life out of your edges by excessively tune or detune edges (unless of course you can afford new skis often or have many different skis for purposes).
