The Nicholson half-round hand file has double-cut American pattern teeth on both the round and flat sides for use on curved and flat surfaces. The double-cut teeth provide rapid material removal. The tang can be used with an optional handle for secure gripping (sold separately).
Hand files are used to remove material and smooth and shape workpieces. They have forward-facing cutting teeth and cut when pushed over either a stationary or rotating workpiece. Single-cut teeth have single rows cut diagonally across the width of the file. Double-cut teeth have two sets of rows cut in opposite directions. American pattern files have three coarseness grades. Coarse, also known as bastard cut, is suitable for efficient, heavy material removal where finish is not a concern. Medium, also known as second cut, offers average material removal and finish quality. Fine, also known as smooth cut, provides the smoothest finish. Swiss pattern files have eight coarseness grades, from 00 (coarse), 0 (medium), and 1 to 6 (fine to finest), offering a smoother, more precise finish than equivalent American pattern files.
Nicholson manufactures hand tools and power tool accessories. The company is headquartered in Sparks, MD.

If you want the very best, take it from a 35 year Pipefitter - Plumber, nothing beats a Nicholson File for sharpness, quality & longevity.

If you are only going to have one file, this is the one. The Nicholson bastard is sharp and cuts quickly. I replaced a perfectly serviceable 40 or 50 year old bastard. It had dulled after lots of use. The new bastard is great.

What can I say, it's made by a company with a history of making good products.

Nicholson has a well deserved reputation for producing very good files and rasps. This half-round file is a joy to use.

This file really takes off the metal on my lawn mower blades. Cuts down on filing time.

I assumed that Nicholson was only made in the USA but made in Brasil is okay also, as long as it's not made in a totalitarian country.The quality seems very good.

The description says "Nicholson", but the product is actually "Crescent Nicholson" which I believe is rebranding done after the files were no longer made in the USA. The file is now made in Brasil. I really needed a half round file, and Amazon did deliver quickly, so i will keep the file. But i am very disappointed that the Nicholson brand is no longer made in the USA. Also, the price has gone up, not down, even with sourcing from a much lower wage country. Not promising.
