Didn't find the comparison in a search, but I gotta think it has been discussed!
Time to order new files (round). I like Pferd - have tested against others and they ended up on top. Having said that, I see they now have "Classic" and "Premium"
Here is what the Pferd catalog says:
PFERD offers two cut types. The “Classic line”
spiral cut is impressive, due to the high degree
of stock removal and aggressive sharpening
behaviour.
The finer spiral cut of the “Premium line”
provides increased stock removal, with a
smoother filing action
Here they are at Bailey's:
17078 Premium 7/32"
and the Classic
Bailey's description for the Premium reads: Smooth cut files provide a softer and gentler sharpening action which is appreciated by professional users who prefer less aggressive cutting properties.
Surely, they mean less aggressive cutting by the file...not the finished chain. Right? But the Pferd catalog talks says "increased stock removal"...
Experiences/Thoughts?
