Black Diamond files

[Aldo Bruno]

I got a call recently from a gent with about 350 Black Diamond files, all from back in the 70's which means they are likely made from the Bethlehem .130 Carbon Steel rather then the 1095 that they are made of currently. Is this something that would interest any of you? If I get a good response I will buy the whole lot from him. They look to be both 10" and 12" in flat and 1/2 round bastards. I do not know how many of each.

Are they old worn out files or like NOS (New Old Stock)? I'd definitely be interested in "new" black diamond files.

 

[Russ Andrews]

Yes....

 

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

Sounds great if they are usable NOS files. They are great for draw filing.

 

[Aldo Bruno]

They are still in the original boxes guy's. Hell, if I sell used ones then everyone would be using SCRAP STEEL! Something I am only fond of when it is being added to a 70 TON heat at the steel mill to make more steel for you guy's!

Let me know when you get them in Aldo. I will be by directly.

If they are NOS and priced right, I bet they won't last a week.

 

[Aldo Bruno]

That's why I'm taking mine out 1st!!

To those familiar with this brand of file, what advantages to they offer over Nicholson?
