Gentlemen,

FWIW, stick with old files.

Don't know the reason or the metal but some newer files, made in the last 10-12 years or so will NEVER make a usable knife.

Started hearing that about 10 years back, don't know the details as I've made no new blades since then.

Good luck to all, it's a great hobby/pastime!

Regards,
