Thanks so much everyone – some good options here.
I hadn’t thought of getting vintage ones, I guess I’m not confident I would be able to tell one that’s in good working order – I presume they dull over time and thus have a life span? Is there anything I should look for, or how would one check to see if it is still in good working order?
The Corradi rasps look nice. Shipping from the Europe makes them really expensive (as with the Tome Feteira ones), maybe I’ll see if I can find a vendor in Canada.
As for the black handled ones from Lee Valley, I was in the store the other day and the name on them is Ajax, apparently made in the Czech republic. I ended up finding a nice comparison here:
