    Default Saw file manufacturer?

    Just stumbled on this and thought I'd chuck this on the pile. I'm sure people, particularly Brett, are sick to the back teeth of saw files but who knows maybe one slipped through the cracks.

    They look suspiciously similar to the ones made in India

    HELLOOOooooo

    Indian without a doubt. I didn't even have to have a look to see the black printing (but I did look and sho 'nuff it's there). There are only three European file factories now - Glardon (Vallorbe, who don't make Saw Files, Tome Feteira who make for Bahco and do make Saw Files, and of course Liogier who don't publicise their files .

    There maybe a fourth according to Hans Baiter (who used to make his own files in Switzerland).

    Other than that take your crap pick from India, Mexico, Brazil, Honduras, possibly Philipines, and our good friends in China. And that is with reference to all types of files.
