The Crescent Nicholson flat bastard files with an American pattern are ideal for Sawyers, Wildland Crews and others who require rapid removal of metal. The rectangular cross section allows you to smooth and sharpen straight surfaces, while slight taper in width towards the file's point creates ease of access in slots. Features an ergonomic, Crescent Mills handle for a secure, comfortable grip. Specify 8" Double-cut with sides for rough filing or 12" single-cut with edges for a smooth finish.
