all we used in tool and die work was nickolson lots of nickolsons  till people went on disability with carpel tunnel.   if you ever make a electrolysis deruster run all your old files through it. it blows all particles out. low power would work fine 1 amp or so.

most of the time our files work in oil sap rosin and dirt. electrolysis removes all that and even rust. a perfectly clean file often cuts like  a new file. none of us will agree on which file is best but we can agree a clean file cuts best. I think I got that out out so it makes sense  ;D

i heard some where white vinegar will clean them. i ain't tried it. i buy save edge by the dozen........how ever bevel files are spendy, could be worth it? looks to me [with glasses] when a bevel file stops cutting well, the edges are flattened out.

it can't raise the dead but sure helps the cruddy  ;D  I use red devil lye not washing soda . have it all hooked up and running stir in a spoonfull at at time until ammeter  on battery comes up to 2 amps.  to much lye will overload your charger and burn it up.  people are afraid of lye but this solution is weak  http://www.wwgoa.com/article/removing-rust-with-electrolysis/
