Through the years I would guess we have used every known brand + some obscure ones, other than Save Edge, as we cannot source these at competitive prices. Stihl, Oregon, + other saw makers buy in their files so the quality is variable, of the current lot we favour Vallorbe with Bahco, a close second

I just came across this thread, well aware that its old.

Reading through, I see mixed reviews on the Oregon files and I think I can explain this. I have a few Oregon files that my dad bought back in the 80s in bulk, and they all say Swiss made on them. I do not see any markings of the sort on the newer Oregon files.

So I did some reading and looking around.
Oregon has two lines of files. Red box stuff is made in Taiwan or someplace like that. But the black box files are made by Vallorbe.
