I don't do a great deal of work with my files, but I have a full set of new Nicholson's and a few Nicholson specialty files. They are as good as any I've ever used.

The old 'black diamonds' are the only ones I make knives from and it is the 'black diamonds' that I believe match the alloy content Edgar listed above. It helps to anneal them twice!
