These Iwasaki files are used like a drawknife: pulled toward you in long controlled strokes. Unlike rasps that crush fibers to dust, the chemically etched teeth act like miniature hand planes, shearing clean shavings the whole pull.

Four versions: flat or half round, each in a bastard cut for fast removal or a medium cut for refining.
