I know you weren't asking me either but thought I'd offer my preference with my limited experience.
I'm using Pferd and Vallorbe. Right now I prefer the Vallorbe double bevel. It's a smidge longer and its easier for me to see the corner on the file....I have great eye sight too

Nice. TY.
They are just hard to find and expensive!

This was working pretty well. Strong resemblance I'd say...

Looks sharp..
Not polished, but sharp.

If it's gonna last any length of cutting time it's gotta be steeper where the file hits the back of the tie strap.

For play that looks great.

I don't square file yet.

That is a chain being made for me, it will have play chain status and serve as a sample for getting acquainted to square filing.

Yep, if you can file teeth to look like that, you will fall in love with square like the rest of us have. When it’s right, it is so smooth you could tell a difference even blindfolded!
