Lamb Shanks is a UK-based ski tuning workshop and product brand built for racers, race parents, club technicians, and serious recreational skiers who refuse to settle for off-the-shelf preparation. We design and manufacture precision tuning tools — including the Heavy File Guide, the 3mm Scraper Sharpener, and a purpose-built File Storage Unit — and we run a hands-on tuning service from workshops in Crewe and North Wales.
Every product is engineered around the realities of a working tuning bench. Our file guide uses a heavy design that makes filing easier and lowers the risk of slipping on the steel edge, reducing injuries during ski prep. The scraper sharpener is built specifically for 3mm scrapers, delivering a perfectly square, razor-sharp edge that outperforms universal sharpeners designed for 3mm to 5mm blades.
Our tuning service covers everything from a dry slope special through to a full race tune and complete setup for new race skis. We offer both machine and hand-filed finishes, a premium 24-hour turnaround on request, and a 15% military discount for serving personnel and veterans. We also run workshop video calls to teach ski tuning techniques to skiers who want to understand the craft themselves.
Lamb Shanks is built by technicians who have prepared skis for racers from children's level through to World Cup. That experience shapes every tool we make and every tune we deliver — the goal is consistent, predictable performance on the hill, at a fair price.
"Absolutely amazing service, from the tuning skills to explanations. Only the best quality equipment is used which ensures skis are consistent every time. At an extremely fair price, I would recommend the tuning service to everyone."
"Hudson is probably one of the only people I trust with my skis other than myself. His work is nothing short of World Cup quality whenever he does them on camp. I normally have him do the full race service package and genuinely I've never seen my skis serviced better. 10/10 would recommend for anyone from children's to World Cup."
"Best ski prep in the game. Sent him 3 race skis for prep for the season and he prepped them and got them back to me within a week, perfect to ski on. Side walls polished like glass, edges razor sharp and bases feeling speedy."
"Tuning was to an excellent finish and Hudson was very knowledgeable, answering any questions I had. The skis gripped and ran better than ever before! Also the scrapers cut through the wax extremely well and last a long time."
