You don’t need that expensive file. You’re better off getting more cheaper ones. It’s also in the coarse range at 13 teeth/cm You could go with two Viiala files, coarse and 2nd cut at 6 inch for less than that. The advantage to a file with a tang is you can you use it on the end of the tip and sidewall/top sheet to bevel and clean them up. 8 inch is better for that, 6 inch for sidewalls.
You could get 3 of these for around $30. They are good files.

Yep. Or listen to the people who think that’s unnecessary, get frustrated when you start filing, and give up. Common.At some point you need to file side edges. Stones can't do it all. You should get a 7 degree guide and a panzar file to prepare the sides for filing.
