beginning to get a nice group of files for small tasks like sights and such, found a 60˚ with 2 sides blind for dovetails.
Today I noticed a few are beginning to show signs of rust. A few years back I was told, not a big deal, it can somewhat make them sharper, but is it really OK? I have heard that they should never be oiled since they will clog. I use non oiled chalk when using them. I was also advised to keep them in a container of lime, which I have done.
What say you wizards of metal work?
thanks,
Rob
