Questions & Answers

Which one is it? It says it's a bastard cut in the "features and details" section, but the name of the product at the top says it's a smooth cut. ?

It has a haphazard cut pattern but a smooth finish that is suitable for soft metals.

Is this for no other reason than to make a statement? Is it necessary for me to use it to sharpen my machete?

Yes, it's multipurpose and can be used to sharpen a machete. There are two things to remember: 1. Because it's a smooth cut, it's better to keep it sharp or use it as a finishing touch than to use a dull one and try to remove too much material.
2. A machete picks up dirt and corrosion over time, so clean it before sharpening to avoid clogging the file.

What size wooden handle should I use for this file?

The handle isn't made of wood. It's made of steel and measures about 2 inches in length.

For repairing the edges of bladed tools, this is a good file

5/5

I'm glad Amazon sells high-quality tools because the cost of this item is a few dollars less on Amazon.

A good starting edge of a brand new blunt axehead is inserted

5/5

I bought a brand new battle axehead with two bits. Cam is abrasive to say the least. This file, as well as whetstones and a leather strop, were used. It's a lot more pronounced now.
