Some years ago Nicholson has moved his rasp production from USA to Latin America. Doing so, many say that the Nicholson #49 rasp has lost its revered quality, hence they ask me what I could do about this.

I am wondering if it would be worth investing in a new forging die and produce a “Liogier #49” that would have the same shape of a Nicholson #49 but with the quality of hand-stitched teeth.

If you think it would be a good idea, please let me know.

Thank you.
