Has anyone here had files sharpened? Happy with result?
I found two companies that do it. One replied to my inquiry with very reasonable prices, but unsettled me by saying that I do not have to sort the files because they will run them all through the process and then their inspectors will determine which ones they "had success with".
He claimed his was an abrasive process,. "the same as used to sharpen new files"....but I thought that files were made by essentially raising burrs with a sharp chisel, no sharpening involved.
Perhaps someone here can explain the details of the sharpening process, and/or can correct my misunderstanding of how files are made in the first place.
Thanks!
