I bought the cheap silverline diamond coated feather edge files from amazon about 4 quid each so I have never lashed out on the expensive ones above. I have had a bash at sharpening about 5 silkys and file still seems to work, as do the saws but not as good as new.

 

 

If you look at the video you will see the chap explain that the tooth profile is a normal saw tooth but in order for it to only cut on the pull stroke a small ramp is formed on the top of the tooth

 

I found it often enough just to touch up this small ramp on the top of the point with a couple of light strokes

The natanoko & gomtaro are not supposed to be sharpened, as they are impulse hardened in the manufacturing process.

Some

I, like the sugoi & ibuki are not & can be. I use a feather file from silky. However, as stated previous it maybe possible with a diamond file to sharpen other blades
