I'll second what Dave says. I started out on worn 1/8" Sandvik steel files I could get at a surplus store for 50 cents a piece. Nice thing about them is that once I got my grinding looking semi-decent, if I ground them cool enough I could make using knives out of them by just tempering them. The thickest steel I use for my fixed blades is 1/8", and a lot of them are 3/32"....I full flatgrind only.
