Bob, I do not know about the UK, but here in the US
they are simply called "daimond files" in the tool
cataloogues and are apparently just file blanks that

advertised, but have never bought any---yet, but they
sound like the best thing for modelmakers since sliced
bread and pre-packaged Corned Beef.
