I need to buy a file to sharpen my climbing axe picks, what grade of file is usually best to use?

Any middle of the road file will do - not a bastard file and not some steel alternative to emery paper.

I've used a second cut on my Quarks, it seems to do the job pretty well

Surely you match the file grade to that of the aspired climb?

Any old file will do except a tiny one.
