Joseph Rodgers & Sons nail file

[JimmyHAD]

I got this a few years ago with an assortment of razors and stuff off of the bay. At first I didn't mess with it because I'm not that big on filing my nails, but eventually I started to, and it is the best nail file I've ever seen/had.

I mess with fingerpicking guitar some and I like to keep my fore and middle finger nails long enough to pluck the strings but not so long that they tear or split. Anyway, I found that using the teeth in the grooved portion on either side of the stamped Rodgers logo leaves the edges of my nails perfect.

The scooped part is kind of sharp on the edges and I wonder if that and the point are more for some sort of fleam than for manicuring. Anyway, Joseph Rodgers made some good stuff.

Very cool nail file, Rodgers made all king of manicure files and such.

That is pretty cool, the scoop may be for pushing coticules and/or removing calluses. I use my Leatherman to file my nails but it is difficult because of its heft and agressive cutting. That little file would be excellent as a replacement and very masculine. Thanks Jimmy, now I have one more thing to watch for on ebay!
