True and it also has a square/blunt edge ground on it. It doesn't have to be big (it looks to me about 1/32" or so thick). If you look at a file that doesn't have teeth to the [square] tip, you have the same thing. I use them and I've also used plain ole ground flat stock (O1 blade blanks, used to square/flatten the bed, you can even stick on sandpaper if you wish).
