Review on Forney 70320 Flat Bastard File, 8-Inch by Mark Patterson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bought it to fix my axe.

It's solid and heavy. I have a Fiskars x27 splitting axe that needed to be sharpened and honed. I needed a good file to remove the jagged bits from the axe. It worked great. Once the jagged edges are removed / straighten I went to my honing stone and got a razor edge on my axe.05/27/2016 - Update - A few years later the Forney file is still working like a champ. It still files like new and has no signs of failing anytime soon.

Pros
  • Standard American pattern
Cons
  • The file is relatively expensive compared to other similar options available in the market
