And a four in hand that I use most, does not use a handle.
And anyway, it’s a J/109. We performance boat owners cut the handles off our tooth brushes too.

I get it John, I also have owned a ULDB Moore 24 since the beginning of time. My tool kit there nearly fits in my pockets. Weight is an issue that I understand. I also know what those files without handles do to your hands. Maybe a compromise, cut off the spikes! Save your hands and some more weight. It is interesting that on the larger boat we have, I don’t seem to treat weight the same.
I must say, I do always learn from you and your sites.
I’m grateful to be able to reference so much GREAT knowledge and information. Thank you for everything.

I was kidding about the weight and I’m, sure you are right about the handles, although I have to confess that, except for a larger metals file at my work shop, I have never bothered with adding handles.
John, Please put handles on ’em.

Hi Mitchel,
They won’t fit in the bag with them.

And thanks for the kind words.
