At first glance, the Trim Tool from Black Diamond might look like a letter opener, but a letter opener won't cut through thick nylon and tacky glue in order to trim your climbing skins to the perfect size. Simply attach your too-wide stock climbing skins to your skis and run this tool down the edge of your skin.
