A great set containing two universally used sharpeners that can accomplish most tasks. Named after the Swiss inventor and toolmaker F.L. Grobet, the half-round Swiss Pattern file allows for multiple filing jobs, from straight, flat surfaces to curved variable surfaces. It’s also ideal for sharpening and finishing tasks such as deburring or cleaning up edges due to its incredible precision. The Sharpening Stone offers two levels of abrasion: rough/coarse black and smooth gray. Ideal for use with hatchets, axes, garden tools, and outdoor knives/blades that need a working edge. Includes polyester storage and carry case.

Cleaning the Sharpening Stone
Rinse the stone under running water for about a minute or two to remove debris and metal filings. You can also use a degreaser like kerosene or paint thinner with a small brush to loosen oil and metal pieces.

Cleaning the File
• Hold the file by the handle with a firm grip.
• Place the tip of the file on a durable surface, such as a workbench, to stabilize it.
• Using a file card or wire brush, clean the file by brushing in one direction, away from your body. Start. near the handle and move towards the tip.
• Repeat the brushing motion until the file is completely clean.
• (Optional) To prevent rust and ensure smooth operation, lightly coat the file with a thin layer of oil. Wipe off any excess oil with a clean cloth.

Storing
Store in a cool dry place.

    Perfect Father's Day gift

    He was totally surprised at this set. Said he didn't have a file as fine as this one and the 2 sided 2 grit stone piece was a big hit. The carrying/storing bag really impressed him . Just has these tools from a big box store without a bag to protect them.
