I was excited when my 20 lpi checkering file came in the mail. But then I used it all wrong, I'm sure, because after eight or so knives, the teeth are noticeably duller.
I'd love to hear from someone with checkering file experience. What technique should I use? How long should it take to put a half inch to an inch of jimping on a hardened steel spine? How long should my file last? How should I maintain it? Help me to not destroy my next $80 file! Thanks.
