Came across this little gem but have never heard of Filson before. Can't find anything on  AA. Anyone?





All my taste is in my tools.

If memory serves, we did see Filson on Tool Talk before the crash. I'll see what I can dig up.

Your memory serves right cause I due remember someone at least mentioning filson before on tooltalks old site. I just dont remember what it exactly said but I remember reading about it at one time or another.

I have a wrench stashed somewhere that is marked "Alloy Filson" on the shank.  I'll see if I can find it.
"FORGED IN THE USA" myself.  Be good to your tools!

I think Henley Filson co, North Vernon, Indiana....

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
