Nicholson Files

I need to replace several files, which are Nicholson Files.

What is the general consensus on the quality of this brand nowadays?

Nicholson Files are now owned by Crescent. The website says they are from the Appex Tool Group.

Are they still made in America? The Crescent website is not clear on this.

They are no longer made in the USA and they lost their reputation for quality too. It's one thing to outsource production, but I don't understand why most of these tool manufacturers also lower the quality when they do move.

Grobet is the best we have found at work. A couple years ago we tried some different brands just to be sure Grobet was still the best and hands down, Grobet still held up the best and was most consistent for holding an edge.
