Files are one of those tools that should not be bought at Harbor freight or similar. They are a cutting tool and quality is especially important
Nicholson is a great brand, this 5-piece set is ~$35 US.
E: Instead of a round file, this set includes a different size of the fine flat file. Fools. Round is needed more than a different size of one you already have, especially for a general purpose set.
tl;dr: don't waste time with old, worn-out files.
One lesson I learned the hard way is that old used files just aren't worth it (maybe they are if you can easily tell how sharp a file is by hand-feel, I can't).
I brand new nicholson file is going to be less than $20, and it's like night and day. (here's a set for $32: http://www.amazon.com/Nicholson-Ergonomic-Handles-American-Pattern/dp/B001T49R7S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1464460472&sr=8-2&keywords=nicholson+file)
