Also I don't remember having ever used a file that the handle would

will probably not have handles. Who makes an after market handle
that stays on. Maybe I should buy the cheapest wooden ones &
epoxy them in place. I assume that would work. No?

Thanks for any info, JD

I use golf balls for file handles. *Just drill a hole that the small
end of the tang will fit into. *They stay in place.

I would recommend getting a type A aluminum file if you do much with
aluminum. *They remove aluminum quickly but leave a pretty smooth
surface.

Type A file. I do file some aluminum. That's a good idea.
Golf balls. Hmm. Do U use more than 1 ball if the tang is long enough?
Thanks, JD
