I do jewelry work on occasion, and I noticed that my #2 Nicholson pillar file is about kaput. Being Scottish (by ancestry), I went hunting on Ebay for a new one. I found someone selling Valtitan files for something other than an arm and a leg, so I got one.
Valtitan files are some of the hardest on the market, at 74 RC. They eat platinum and titanium for lunch. I am so glad I got one!
I just resurfaced my Chinese black waterstone with the file, and it performs so much better. I’ve also reset edges on knives with the file, and loved how well it performed.
Once the money side of my life is stable, I’ll be buying more of them. They’re way too useful, and I suspect they’ll last long enough to be worth the money (unless I use them on hard stones all the time, or HSS steel).
Hope you’re all well out there!
