Nothing fancy, but a very useful tool. Used it to sharpen my axe. The handle is bare metal (no surprise, you can readily see this in the on-line picture). Needs some non-stick tape wrapped around the handle or alternatively I suppose wear a pair of gloves. Would have been a 5-star tool if it had a better/more comfortable handle.

Nicholson files are a great value and the handy file is especially useful. I tie one file to each of my tools that need constant sharpening (scythe, machete, hedge shears, weed cutter, etc.) using the handy hole drilled in the handle. That way when the tool is in the field, the means to sharpen is always right there. Also, sew a simple slip sleeve for each file out of leather or fabric, coat it with a corrosion protector...that keeps the file from rusting and transfers a little of the rust preventer to the cutting edge of the tool. CorrosionX works great.

I wasn't really planning on reviewing this item, but the reason I bought this particular file was the fact that at least two other reviewers says it's made in the USA. Well, it says 'Made in Mexico' on mine. Not that I have anything against Mexico (hola amigos!), and the file does exactly what files are supposed to, but I would have preferred an American made item.

I haven't owned a file before but I've seen some pretty "fancy" files. I know there are some files on the market with wooden handles and all that extra stuff (adding the to cost of the item). This file is one piece of steel. The handle is not very long but it's only an 8 inch file to begin with. Most of the length is the working area. Some reviewers have whined about wanting a better handle or wrapping stuff around the handle to make it all soft and comfy for them. Honestly, this file is so light (and only 8 inches long) that you don't need any special grip or padding. So light you don't even really need to use 2 hands to work it, I've been able to use it with only one hand.

When I first got it out of the package, I grabbed a dull hatchet I had in the garage. This file is very sharp. I was able to sharpen that hatchet back to a working edge in only 12 strokes. I use the hatchet for wood. I'm not a fantasy-land Viking, Templar Knight, or Barbarian...I'm not concerned with slicing paper with my hatchet or throwing it into a wall. It literally took me about 12 strokes to get a hatchet that couldn't make kindling from a dry log back to having a sharp working edge.

Sharp enough to get the work done quickly (e.g. only 12 strokes on a blade), light weight, small and easy to store. Good price. What's not to like? Well, ok, there may be one thing not to like--the finishing. When this file arrives, you should brush it down with a wire brush or rub it with another file or some sandpaper. I got 2 metal slivers in my hand from the handle. So be careful and wear gloves and/or get the burrs off this file before you use it.

This is ideal for putting a sharp working edge on your heavy working hand tools like lawn mower blades, axes/hatchets, machetes, pretty much anything made for chopping as well as other metal items such as steel pipes, etc. If this were lost or stolen, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

No better or worse than any other. Smooth edges on the handle aid in comfort. I'd buy this brand again.

I bought this product for sharpening tools and machetes and it works great. There isn't a better file on the market. So far I have sharpened multiple tools with no issues, and have not needed to use the double cut side at all even on extremely dull tools. Made in the USA!
