I thought I knew a bit about files, but this is a new one to me. I keep seeing logging supply houses that include "goofy files" in their product lists. What are they? Are there left-handed files, like goofy footed surfers?
"Goofy files are shaped just like a raker file, except the rounded edges also have teeth. These files are used to maintain a razor edge on chisel chain and they will also maintain depth gauges."

It looks like the same shape as a raker file (flat on two sides, rounded on the the other two). The difference is, a raker file is smooth on the rounded sides, and a goofy file is sharp on the rounded sides. This is exactly what the text on the Bailey's site and the Save Edge site say.
