That´s a good link, Bluechip, thanks.

I´ve been having the same problem, crappy files, though not inherited. There´s a Bahco/Oberg file factory here in Portugal, and they´re available "everywhere". Just that I´m not quite happy with them... And they come with plastic handles, so they also cost way too much. The Swedish made Oberg are/were on par with Swiss files, Vallorbe, Grobet, Valtitan, Baiter, etc. Although it seems I use files far less nowadays, since I´ve had a milling machine.
