+1 for file
you need a round one for the teeeth and a flat one for the rakers.
bit like drill sharpening, once you’ve got the knack it’s easy and quick. Better to stay on to of it than let the chain get ******** and spend ages trying to fettle it.
As Bob, carbide chain. It’s not just the creosote. It’s the grit and dirt in there that’ll kill your chain.
I tended to use stihl files but that’s what was local. Any premium file will be fine as long as it’s a chainsaw one.
