Rusty 'ol KnotKlipper update

Cool bit of history there!

Why the hell do good files have to be so damn hard to get ahold of? You'd think that the difference in cost couldn't be SO massive. I think it's just another case of needless penny-pinching on the part of many companies.

I have to agree. A company can spend a century building a good name. Then a Wall Street brokerage house can destroy that name in a few short months. Make record profits for 3 or 4 quarters and take your big bonus. Then scurry off to find some more raw meat while a formerly proud company crashes on the rocks. :(

Heeheehee...at least I have a good source for vintage files in good shape. Takes some digging, and a bit of a drive, but I always know where to go.

I'm just joking with you man. It is a shame what has happened to so many like Nicholson.

Just look at Collins. They've been nothing but an off-shore sub brand of Cooper Tools (Nicholson's parent) since the 70's IIRC.
