🔍 Key Concepts

• File cuts and tooth patterns (single cut vs double/triple cut) • How sharpening differs from rapid stock removal or rough shaping • Typical use of bastard cut vs smooth or second-cut files

💭 Think About

• Think about whether sharpening needs a fine, smooth finish or a rough, aggressive cut. • Which file tooth pattern leaves the smoothest, most controlled surface with minimal deep scratches? • Among the choices, which type of file is normally used for finishing and honing rather than heavy shaping?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which file type is single-cut (parallel rows of teeth) versus double/triple cut (crossed teeth). • Check which file is commonly recommended for finishing or sharpening cutting edges, not just fast metal removal. • Consider whether a bastard cut is generally coarser or finer than other cuts used for sharpening.
