Mr. Rawles:
Along the same line as Cadet’s recent piece about hand tools, I would like to add that this topic has been on my mind for some time. I bought a file set from Harbor Freight just to have for light work around our retreat. When I tried to sharpen an old Collins brand axe head with a fine file, the axe head took metal off the file! My warning to SurvivalBlog readers: Save up a few extra bucks and buy new American made files that are actually harder than the steel that you intend to use them on!
