5 XX Slim TAPER FILE Junk Counterfeit File new in the box. Condition is "New". Shipped with USPS 

Back in the day, there were a lot of over seas companies trying to sell counterfeit files in Nicholson's market.  Easy to determine for a trained eye.   

These are what I call junk files.  Will they file?  Yes.  Will they file like Nicholson made in the USA, no way.  Will they file good steel?  I don't think so. I tested these and they would not file 55 Rockwell C.  They will file soft metal.

You are getting 14 files for $20.  They may be as good as the files from China but nothing I would recommend for your saw unless it is made in China.  All my files are 100% good stuff.  Just need to get rid of this Junk.  

This is a triangular file that can be used for anything soft metals.  Typically used to sharpen saws.  May or may not file depending on your saw.  If made in China it should.
