Doing some work and I noticed about all of my files ( metal working side) are dull or really dull. Guess that makes sense as some were my mothers from when she was in OT school!.
Anyway, seems a shame to toss them. I noticed a You-Tube from Stumpy on blunt files and it makes sense to grind one or two into a blunt edge. Any other good uses, considering I am not going to re-temper or forge them.
I was also wondering, as fast as a file wears out, why pay for the good Swiss, German, or even finding Nicolson from Mexico? Are HF an overall better deal? Dirt cheap.
