If you are thinking about buying any, save your money.

They make a very good file but there saw files are real bad.Why? I've used Nicholson files as a machinist and sharpening chain for over 40 years. Nicholson has always been top of the line.
There's several places that sell them here and ive had to buy them in a pinch and I'm always shocked by how bad they are.Ain't doubting you but you're the first person I know that doesn't like Nicholson. Depends where he gets them they could be bootleg.
Old Nicholsen files are excellent,
(I prefer Nicholson or Save-Edge, BTW...)...
To each his own.
I have some flat files that are 50 years old and are still better than what you can buy now unless you spend a lot of money but there different from saw files,ain't nobody got a saw file 50 years old that's been used any at all.lol. I probably have Nicholson files in my machinist chest older than you!!!! Old can be good sometimes.

You might get a good one to last as long as the chain
The tangs are normally softer so they are tougher.Gave up on the Stihl 3/8 Pico files....the steel is so bad they bend at the handle on first use.
Just got a Nicholson to try out and it seems ok so far...it's more of a bastard grade than the Stihl. Made in Brazil it said.
Next time I will try and find a Vallorbe or Grobet as they are both Swiss I think.
