Gummy stone.  It's like 6 bucks and it works great.

I used a nail file so it didn't totally round my edge compared to a big industrial file.

Try to slide sole boxes and rails it will work.

File! Gently slide it a couple times along the underfoot and the contact points near the tip and tail. The ON3P guys do this for blue steeles. It's very legit and doesn't mess up your skis. Do not overly file them just a couple times

Oh and yes to be completely correct you should use gummy stones afterwards to remove burrs

You can also use a cork if you don't have a gummy stone available.

Yeah. It will take like 3 days of riding to dull them. And you wont kill yourself. You might fall, but you wont die. it will all be okay.
