Nicholson Saw and Auger Files
Triangular files we offer for sharpening saws are especially made for this purpose. Unlike standard triangular files, these files have a small radius on each side which produces a radius at the top of the gullet. This radius serves to prevent the blade from cracking and helps avoid clogging in use.

Note: If you don't wish to make your own handle for files 3,4 or 5 the file handle "Nicholson File Handle - Fits Saw File 2" listed below can be adapted by plugging the hole and redrilling it.
Nicholson Card Brush is useful for cleaning the teeth of files, rasps and floats. Brush works best for removing wood particles, while the wire card side removes metal trapped in the file's teeth.
For safety, always use a handle on a file |
