Friederich Dick files from Germany are one of the best saw files offered on the market today and Bad Axe Tool Works is proud to be the only american supplier for them. We swear by their quality and use them to sharpen every saw that we send out.
Generally speaking, you want to present a little more than twice the face of a file in comparison to the size of a given tooth. This lets you use the file a minimum of three times for three saw filings without wearing the file out by overlapping a given sharpening into an area along the face already used.
