Ok, I saw this post on another forum and people had the same answers. He is asking specifically for "American" made Nicholsons.
All I can say is good luck! I've heard of a few people finding them in old shops but I doubt your gonna find any at an online supplier. I guess you could just call the companies listed and ask if they still have U.S. made left but I doubt it. I can tell you right now that Lee valley and 3rivers are all brazilian.
Best price I've found unless someone is having a sale is www.midwayusa.com (http://www.midwayusa.com)
I guess I'll have to stick to my farrier's rasp for now but maybe someday...
Try a Shinto rasp, I'm going to.
