Savage Aggressive big files

[HacksawParticipant @hacksaw]

 

Anyone want one of these ? Used for a week and discarded.Still sharp enough to slash your hand,(you'll need a handle,) but I like them razor sharp as i'm a weakling.. and i don't like pushing so i buy a new one most weeks. I don't buy rubbish ones, they're 25quid new . Tax deductable see .. My fingers get cut to ribbons though.

I took hundreds to the household tip today , I don't know why i keep hold of them for so long …Jesus it did make a din as i tipped them in the metal skip !! And suddenly i thought someone here would have liked those!! Too late . These were what was left in my van..

Like I said, these have been used, got rained on, slight rust ,rasp might have horseshit in some teeth..i'm not cleaning them , but they'll last on non ferrous and MS for years…overall with tang 17" Put them in lemon juice they'll come up like new. Bonus is they're hard to break , very hard but not that brittle . If you want one you'll have to pay the postage ,about 3 quid each.. Reasonable? I think there's a dozen . But dont buy them just to put on ebay…I can do that..

I read that heading as 'Savage aggressive big Flies'.

Thought your workshop had been invaded by monster insects.

me too, i have encountered some big nasties in my time too, i once sedated an enormous cattle fly with some solvent and looked at it under a digital microscope at work. The eyes were astonishing.

I also found one of those weird ichneumon wasps recently, they are evil looking buggers.

I'd take two if you don't mind, they look like blacksmiths hot work files to me.

[jason udallParticipant @jasonudall57142]

Pm sent.

[HacksawParticipant @hacksaw]

Well there's only 12 and they're all spoken for now !! Lots of pms to answer

If those who wanted 2 or more don't mind having just one , everyone who's asked can have one .. I won't chuck them in future , and offer them up here . Shame i dumped hundreds yesterday..

they're rasp one side and coarse file the other , no safe edge .

Re my PM, one would be much appreciated, rather than a couple, to give everyone a chance.

Your efforts are much appreciated, but it looks like you might have twice as much packing to do.

As peak4's posting above: Re my PM, one would be much appreciated, rather than a couple, to give everyone a chance.

Thanks & regards,

That is, I think, a ferriers tool for trimming hooves…

[HacksawParticipant @hacksaw]

Funnily enough …Yeah i'm a farrier….

 

A farrier is always a blacksmith, a blacksmith is not necessarily a farrier, which is why a farrier is cleverer than a blacksmith...

Anyway, they can bend a bit….but spring back just fine ..!

 

 

 

Get them hot and forge them into sommat useless…!

 

 

Yes, i know the "scales go the wrong way

Ah, that would explain the mottled appearance on the files, i thought you just had a penchant for storing files in dank cold environments.

Horse pee rusts them very quickly..

[Peter KroghParticipant @peterkrogh76576]

I wasn't going to mention the rust stain patterns…..along with the blood.

I'm not a farrier, just have done shoeing back when under Grandads watchful eye…

As above i'd drop to 1 instead of 2 if it helps out somebody else, ps I'm a trainee blacksmith

[Brian Baker 2Participant @brianbaker2]

One is fine for me, and many thanks for your kind offer.
