Nicholson is a good file.
I think Wal-Mart has them.

metal file,finger nail file,.wood file
Re: Recommend me a file!
Just a Metal file for broadheads. I never gave it much thought before as to what makes one file better than another, But I figured someone here would have good advice. Maybe I'm overthinking it and a file is just a file.

Well, 3Rivers sells some specialty files for broadhead sharpening. I used the Stay Sharp I got from Ron on a whetstone followed by a diamond stone...they get pretty darn sharp.

The Simmons Sharks website has a selection of broadhead sharpening accessories. Files, diamond and ceramic rods, etc.

Re: Recommend me a file!
got the file in the mail yesterday and it works perfect for my needs. It's wide enough that I can drag a 3 blade broadhead downs its length to sharpen it, and I'm sure it will make quick work of all that extra metal on the tip of new Zwickys.
I tested it out on my practice vpa 3 blade and it got it shaving in just a handful of strokes per side.
I wish I would have got this earlier and quite messing around with that old beat up file I was using.

They are great for machetes also.
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.
