Taper files, not as suited for saw chain.
Are you saying a metal rat tail file is not feasible? I disagree.
I don't think a rat tail (taper) file is
good for saw chain. Better to have a saw
file, same diameter the length of it.
Speak to a professional Arborist. Ask 'em what they use. It really
doesn't take much effort to sharpen a chain before you climb a tall
pine tree and drop the branches. YMMV
A pro would not use a "rat-tail" file, i.e, one that tapers from one end to the other in the tooth portion. Now if you are talking about a file that has the thin pointed _handle_ end, so do the standard chainsaw files. They have no taper in the tooth portion.

Thanks. Maybe I was trying to say that. The file is "round", easily
works to sharpen a chain on the saw. One of my brothers was a
professional arborist.
Reminds me a rat tail. Not a rasp, but a fine tooth metal file.
