Nicholson 8" Rectangular Double/Single Cut Axe File - 06706NN, Multi, One Size

This file works great for removing nicks in my axe bits.Occasionally, while maintaining my forest, I nick or chip an axe. I like to address the situation quickly, then finish the resharpening with a stone. This file is great at returning the bit to its proper shape - keeping me in action. I really like the single cut side/double cut side combo. I use one for fine work and the other for heavier repairs. It's great that they come together in one file.It fits right in my field tool box. Very handy and effective.

Well shaped and good material removal when used on low carbon steel. All files wear out, so buy a couple of them.

I have access to old Nicholson files and I had heard that the new ones were not as good. I took a chance on this two sided file for sharpening axes. The file came oiled. I first hosed it down with brake cleaner to remove all oil and residue and it sharpened an Oschenkopf Iltis axe in less than 3 minutes to razor sharp. It cuts great. I’m very happy with the file. Just be sure to remove the oil, tap out the filings, and brush it out occasionally while filing. It cuts faster than my old Nicholson files. Highly recommend it.

Works great for sharpening axes and outdoor tools. The built in handle is appreciated as it saves space in my chainsaw bag.

There's nothing better than applying a good clean file to a dull old hachet, lawn mower blade, or what have you, and watching the edge quickly sharpen. This file cuts very nicely and put a heck of an edge on my mower blades. I like the handle - the curves very ergonomic, for a piece of flat metal.Get yourself a file card along with this file and keep it clean, and it will perform admirably for a long time.

I really like this file its just right size for what I was needing to use it for double cut on one side and single on the other makes sharpening my hatchets and axes a breeze. I don't do reviews unless I feel like someone might want to know the truth about a product if your looking for a good file for your outdoor utensils hatchets, axes exc then you will like this file and it's a really decent file everything I own made my crescent has been great tools up to this day they have.
