Nicholson files ARE 1095

Hi all.

I picked up several large Nicholson aluminum/soft metal files this weekend for a song to use as blade stock. While searching for tips/tutorials for using them, I noticed that there was some controversy as to just what steel Nicholson is using these days.

No one seemed to know for sure, so I contacted Cooper Tools, the parent company of Nicholson, asking for clarification.

I just received a reply from Peggy Overton (Customer Service) at Cooper Tools:

Hello Brian,

Our files are made of C1095 steel.

Thanks

Hope this clears things up.
