I've done some searching, and found that Nicholson recommends treating their rasps like 1095. Other than that, any advice for making a rasp knife? Any problems with the rasp teeth causing stress risers? I have a guy whose grandpa was a farrier that wants 3 knives from his grandpa's rasps. With the sentiment involved, I want to get them right.

Farrier rasps?

mykulmorris specializes in file knives and can probably give you some pointers on working with farrier rasps. As far as I know, he makes almost 100% of his knives from files, so he'd be the man to ask about how to treat a certain brand/model of file.
Maybe he'll weigh in - not to put you on the spot or anything mykul...
Take care,
