    you could always try putting a corner of the file in a vise and see if the corner will snap off and ive use the newer Nicholson files and there still all hc( good way to beef up a billet)

    oh i see now but ive had good results with anthricite so if bituminous is better for forgeing then i just gotta try it

    if that was ment for me i didnt mean that if it stays lit that it would burn hotter or any of that but does soft coal even though its a lower garde it works better if it wasnt ment for me sorry :p

    i use coal and its anthracite and i dont have any problems with it and i still cant comprehend how a lower grade(bituminous.) coal can be better to forge with then a higher grade coal (anthracite) is it because the bituminous is eazyer to catch fire and stay lit correct me if im wrong

    when i first started blacksmithing i had to make my first pairs of tongs one pair where made out of flat stock and the other made out of rebar and i never have had any problems with it harding on me and ive also forges a few knifes out of it and not many problems mostly cracking from it not being to hot but id forge rebar anyday
