    Grobet makes double ended rifflers. I dig 'em. They hold up nicely. Individual files listed on the bottom of the page. The #981 is closest to what you are looking for I think.

    wow! $350-500+ a set! holy f-balls. out of my league. I have tons of rifflers laying around & all I use is this type & the eensy-weensy round ones for awkward fillet "crotches" Those are mighty nice, but priced like they were golden - Garro.

    I just get the individual ones at the bottom of the page. I really only use 2 styles as well. Yeah, 30 bucks is pricey for a file, but they seem to last and last.

    I picked up a small tapered half round Grobet from McMaster-Carr on closeout like 3-4 years ago and it is still one of the best in the pile. Amazing quality.
    My neighbor who is a fairly accomplished Japanese style blacksmith says they are pretty much the Gooch in his world as well.

    see what happens when you ask for a better tool? (i'm seeing a post-it note on your "to order" list.)
