BD Tech Tips: "Not Too Sharp, Not Too Dull:" "By paying routine attention to your crampon points, you can improve your underfoot traction on hard snow and ice while keeping your rope, gaiters and $400 Gore-Tex® pants protected. You want to maintain the sharpness of your crampons’ points without turning them into a bunch of slicing and dicing Ginsu® blades. When sharpening your crampons, you should always use a hand file. Power tools eat away too much metal too quickly and can ruin the temper of the steel. Hand file the tips of your crampon frontpoints making sure to maintain their original angle. If the points are curled or smashed, file the steel down so that it is as close as possible to its original shape. Sharpen the rest of the points by filing along the flat edge of the sides of each tooth. When you are finished you should be able to press on the crampon point pretty hard with your thumb before it hurts. Be diligent and inspect and sharpen your crampon points routinely.
