Hi!
I have a Nicholson 6" Knife Bastard File. I guess I got mixed up with the terminology and thought "bastard" meant really rough cut but this is a really fine (at least to me anyway) cut tool. I remember my Dad's rasps (really big S.O.Bs. that I guess they don't make anymore, at least not that I can find) and he always told me that "bastard" was the roughest cut, which is what I want.
Do they have a Pattern Makers Cabinet Rasp that is the same shape as this "knife file"?
I searched with google but am not having any luck.
Also, anyone know where I can get the really big wood rasps on-line?
I remember my dad had some that were probably 18" long, 2 to 3" wide and could take your hand off if you weren't careful. Like I said above, I am not sure they even make them anymore.
Thanks,
James
