I can’t tell if I’m sharpening incorrectly or if my file is just worn out. Is there a way to tell? I read somewhere to replace after like five sharpening a but that seems really short.

Thanks for the tips. I’m going to try that file card. I have never heard anyone mention one, but if it helps the files last longer, I’m all for it. Do you add some vinegar or something to the card as well?
No, just use the card dry against the grain of the file. I learned about them back in metal shop in Junior Highschool, and they work very well.
