Review on American Pattern Single Rectangular Thickness by David Gibbs

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cuts well, finish is not perfect

File cuts well, but in general the finish is strange, like a factory second. The side of the file opposite the shank to be sheared remains unfinished and rough. The protrusions on 2 of the 3 files were rough or irregular (rounded on one side). Finally, Revain shipped the files in thin plastic sleeves that allowed the files to touch during transit. I would still prefer them to the Nicholson files made in Mexico. I have since ordered the Bahco files and prefer them.

Pros
  • American file for inaccurate material processing
Cons
  • Not fashionable
