   Excellent bastard file!!!
   Hard steel and not a chip or dull edge in sight after heavy use.Pay attention because it cuts/shaves metal fast! …especially if your contouring or shaping a metal project. Enjoy!

   Quality File For Gift
   Having already owned one, I purchased this one as a gift for son-in-law to sharpen his lawn mower blade and anything else he comes across. For that task, I like this long 12 inch with over 1 inch width. For the mower blade, you grab the file’s ends with two hands and go ‘sideways’ across the surfaces of the blade in more of a scrubbing motion. Nicely maintains the original bevel. Nicholson is a long-time maker of quality files. I still remember all the different cuts (surface styles) of files 50 years later after learning the differences and applications in Junior High Metal Shop Class.

   Larger than I thought, my mistake.
   Very large flat bastard file, I bought for small tools, this is more for large things like shovels, lawnmower blades.

   A must have for your tool bucket
   Good file with handle which is easy on the hands. One side is double cut for fast removal of nicks and burrs. The other side is single cut for a good finish. I use this often at our cabin to keep shoves, mauls and axes sharp. Very functional and a good value.

   Such a Bastard of a file
   A very good file. You can feel the bite in when sharpening metal.

   Size matters
   I’m often in need of my Bastard. Rat tail & half round files. Problem is it’s difficult to get the 10” ones out of the bottom my toolbag. I replaced all the 10” with 8” & couldn’t be happier about it. Nicholson is a well made product.

   Having trouble sharpening your lawn mower blade?
   I was using files handed down to me from my dead relatives! The problem was, they just didn’t work anymore. (I didn’t realize it) I Ordered this file, and OMG! What a difference! In just one minute, my lawn mower blade was sharp!I highly recommend it.

   Love this file for fast removal of silver. It’s been discontinued at our local hardware store so glad to find it here.

    This is a good medium priced home user file. It is quality and will cut metal as you want it to cut metal. It’s not a expensive file in file prices and not a cheap file either. It is good medium priced stuff for home tool users. See my video review.

    This file used to be made in the US, then Mexico, now Brazil. It’s probably a coincidence but the one I just received, has missing teeth toward the tip of the file. My Mexican one worn quickly when used on brass. No idea how the Brazil one would fair.
