This is the best. They give the cleanest and sharpest edges. The complete set in different grits for all intermediate steps when caring for, sharpening and repairing blades. I mean, of course I use other files for other, tougher jobs, but for sharpening, trimming and repairing edges I find this set the best. You pay for what you get. I've been using it all season and it's still working. EDIT: Used two full seasons and still works!
