Years ago, I bought a cheap pack of fairly small files at Historicon.
They are about 4" long, some are pointed, some are flat.
They are about 1-2mm thick for the flats, and 2-3mm thick for the rounded, semi-rounded, etc.
They are grooves, and are not uniformly rough [which I believe is called "diamond" finish].

I am having a difficult time finding the same set. Amazon has about 50 sets and there is rarely enough information in the ads, plus Amazon's search engine purposely overloads you.

I'm looking for a SPECIFIC BRAND / MODEL and website to get them. I'll return to Amazon if I have the specific product.

Please, try to be helpful or just don't reply at all. Thanks!

You don't usually get diamond CUT files as small as this and the link is to diamond coated files; good for use on hard materials but clog quickly on softer stuff.

correct – I don't want the diamond coated files.
The files I have use grooves to grind things down.

Finally just started buy chinese c--p from Amazon, returning the ones that were inaccurately described [three sets].

These are them!

Quality is a bit worse than the set I have, with a bit of warping, but it won't matter for using them.

These are a bit nicer:

Rubber handles, and they seem "straighter". Still cheap.
