Mike,
 If you are talking about the S-24 files, I just posted a set of files and hone kit over on the classifieds.  They work great, but since I switched to 3 blade woodsmans, I don't use them anymore.  We could work out a trade if you are interested.

Mike,
 There is a small gap between the files and stones, so that you can sharpen two blade with bleeder blades or four blade heads.  I always chisel my points a little so it works out nicely.  I already have an armguard from you for my daughter Brier and myself, which we really love by the way.  So anything that you make would be great.  I can put the files and hone kit in the mail to you tommorrow and when you get  chance, just send me some leather item you think I would like.  PM me your address if that's OK and I will get them in the mail.

Mike I own the s-24 files. They work very well setting the edge  on the 2 blade magnus heads I like to shoot.

Mike,
Like was mentioned before they do a great job with 2 or 4 blades.  With a little chalk and a couple of strokes they get a blade smok'n sharp.

I cut an oak board to look like the one with the files on a table saw,very easy. Then ordered a diamond,three grit set of sharpening stones from Harbor Frieght for $13. The stones are twice as wide as you need. Cut through the plastic from the back side,then cut through the diamond coated metal from the back with a Dremel Tool. Glue the two halves on the wood and you have 3 blocks of sharpeners,with 3 different grits. The coarsest will really take some steal off. The finest will finish it off. I hope these instuctions are`nt too complicated as this makes an excellent and very cheap sharpening system. Bob
