There was considerable discussion about Nicholson's last year. Specifically, the 'Black Diamond' labled files. Someone indicated that they had had them tested and discovered that they were identical to 1095 except in their carbon content. That test indicated a considerably higher amount of carbon. I can't recall what it was.

In any case, I buy only Nicholson Black Diamond bastard files at the local scrap yard at three for a buck and they make awesome blades!
