    The manufacturers (Pferd, Nicholson and Grobet at a minimum) call them "long-angle lathe files" :-)

    I can't really comment on the above mentioned rasp. as I have not used one, but nearly all ( 15 or so) of my rasp are made by Noel. I have been quite happy with them after several hundred handles. I have 2 in particular, custom made by Noel for me, shaped like a large and small butcher knife. 15 grain on both sides with the back being a safe side. It has become one of my favorite rasp. I use it on the top of the horns etc. Spelching is more about technique than the rasp. That being said, I can definitely recommend Noel's rasp and I don't get free tools to do so.
