    Sure ............. they work fine when new, but tend to dull faster than Save Edge/Bacho double bevel and tend to deform as pressure is increased; whereas the double bevel keeps its shape under pressure. The difference is a laser clear line in the corner (double bevel) or a more dull/rounded corner line and rounded top plate edge (single bevel) when eithor file starts to get dull

    Double bevel for sure.
    If you have calipers, can you measure how thick it is for me ?

    I like the straight across better. The corners tend to last longer for me.

    Where did you order those from Chris?

    I wouldn't mind trying a few different brands.
