I was using a rat-tail rasp this morning and noted my comment on it that it had been sharpened. Did you know that you can have sharpened files, rasps, and other such tools?. I have used Boggs Tool https://boggstool.com/. They cost just a few dollars each. Since you have to pay shipping, it pays to send a few at once, or get together with a buddy. If the tool is beyond sharpening, they will discard or return at your request. They told me they'd make my Nicholson patternmaker's rasp sharper than new.

Gonna try these out this summer. Got mine in today. Saw a guy on youtube recommend them. They're chromed.......actually made for something in the ski industry. I've never used anything but the mid-grade newer Nicholson type for filing...all the good stuff I've been buying last several years was coarse for rasping on powder horns etc...

In the middle of a $2 tub of screwdrivers.. Lets see, toss out the cheapo plastic stuff, and that FUBAR hammer.....there are 2 Nicholson Smooth Mill files....and what looks like a handled Triangular file....rest appear to be Irwins/Stanleys....but...that handled file? Metal part of the handle is a 2 piece thing...with a LUTZ File & Tool Co. Cinti. OH stamped into it..... Yet it has a 30 degree bevel? That can fit into most dovetail joints? Most of the file's teeth are worn out...hmmm, might have a use for this, later.... User made? Or....Wood does not appear to have ever seen a mallet. Still trying to read an etch ON the file itself...

While perusing YouTube this morning I came across "The Art of Craftsmanship" YouTube channel and he had a wonderful method that anyone can employ with the tools as woodworkers we already have on hand. First, you need an ol rusty file or a file that isn't usable anymore, then you need your woodworking skills and common sense. This was an enjoyable video for me to watch anyway, not a whole lot of music, straight forward speak from the young man knife maker, and speaking in easy to understand terminology. There are many ways to make a knife, but I thought this was one way we all, as woodworkers can wrap our heads around, and most of us already have all the tools on hand to complete a knife from a file. Hope you enjoy.

I've had these forever. They was with my grandfathers tools. I have no idea what they are or what they are used for. Both made by ANDERSON BROS MFG. CO. Both have a slide on them. Both look like a file with no teeth. No sharp edges anywhere.

Still working on the arm narrow, it's almost there, but not quite, it's all by eye, whatever looks pleasing, is when I'll stop. -
