a weird shape to be transporting
You're not wrong there. They do a rasp which is just the blade on a normal handle, which is no doubt more toolbox friendly. I like them because you can rag on end grain and other tricky bits to work on. I used it to level the bottom of a knackered board the other day - definitely not something I'd want to use a Veritas plane on!

My file game is pretty weak. I'm always on the lookout but this one looks a weird shape to be transporting which has put me off in the past. Normally only need files when I'm boxing stuff in that involves pipes. I use an apron plane from veritas for most of the small adjustments.
