... and some files can be saved .... but not concave ones ... that "slipped" through copious inspection.
(Be sure to label and clearly inventory your curved tooth files that go out for sharpening ... somehow, some can go missing when not clearly inventoried on the "sharpen request."
"Diamond" that we used to know - may now indeed be sourced from far distant villagers.
(thinking of the rural Taiwan chicken farm that was packaging up US Airline eating utensils in their home kitchen. circa 1975.)
