If someone is getting those files for less that $10 a piece I'm gonna be pissed! Lol Ahlborne would be making tons of money on them, I pay 12.50 a piece shipped to me.

So if stihl charges/charged $6.23, getting them from vallorbe has to be about that same price. I did not dive into ordering any, but this confirms what I thought.
I believe I'm catching your drift, and if you think I'm marking them up, call Ahlborne and order some, I'm not making money on these, just trying to get these files to these guys.

The guy that posted the pic I shared said it’s the same file as the Vallorbe. Did you post a pic of your $8 Stihl one? If not, can you? I have a Messicks very close and if it’s that file, I’m ordering some. TIA

The LH file came from Stahl's Sawmill and logging supplies. Save edge brand. the Rh came from Western supply in colorado. Tough to do LH cutters with the save edge.

So what's everyone's opinion on gouging side plates an drive links? I know you can do individual cutters in vise grips and avoid the gouging but I don't bother. I don't think the gouges are a big deal as long as you don't get too far through the rivets.

Even with vise grips I think you can still hit the strap unless it’s a shallow angle for a race chain. I try to stay out of the straps as I’ve had them break right there before

Looks like in your other pics that the next link back is taller when bent over so it would probably hit that one first anyway when using vise grips. I know JR sure filed a bunch of chain using them so they sure must work

My drift is that it's a file, not gold, and that the price is jacked up.

If you want to mark up a file and sell it that's no hair off my sack, jack :D

Ill wait until I get a better price.
