     In Ron Ehlert's DVD entitled Assembling Kentucky Rifles from a Kit, he uses a mill file which has a tapered cross-section and the overall length features a parabola similar to a knife blade.  Two questions: 1) the name of this type of file?   2) where can it be purchased?
     Thanks for any help.

Bruce,  Go to the following web page,  http://www.cooperhandtools.com/brands/nicholson/index.cfm?search_criteria=1
select the hand tools pull down menu, select chisels/files/rasps and then under files go to knife files.  I think is what you are talking about.

Thank you, Dave.  The knife files were the ones I was looking for.  It was a long and circuitous journey but you sir, provided directions to that end,  Thank you again.
