Mike, thanks for explaining in great detail. I have recently purchased a 2nd hand set of Wild instruments. The larger ruling pen is good, whereas the smaller one appears to have been dropped on it's point so that the blades are bent inwards at the ends. Guess this might need quite a bit of repair / honing. Any suggestions on the repair would be appreciated. David

Metal files should only be used in one direction, you will f it up by going back and forwards like that.

I am only applying pressure on the forward strokes.

Sorry another urban myth,I have 2 die filing machines which I use & they recipricate using modified standard files [as genuine die files are difficult to obtain] & they move up & down with no relief on the return stroke & they don't harm

It may only cut on the forward stroke but if your file is ruined by soft metal like this then it wasn't really a file in the first place 😂
