few years ago, i got a bug up my butt to find USA made bastard files. i knew Nicholson had an american run so i ran off to find them.
i found some neat stores along the way. EAMES was one of them. merchandise was hooked to the walls up to the ceilings. one of those old school ladders that ran on a rail all along one way..an old dude with reading glasses that he had to peak over. super cool stuff.
i ended up finding one single USA made file. and it was at an ACE by my office. i leafed thru many MEX ones and found a single packaged marked USA. of course i had to my a phillipines made wood handle for it.
