Pro tip: Dulled a file on a rusty old anvil face last week

I was cleaning up a beat-up anvil I found at a farm auction in Ohio. Spent 20 minutes filing down the rust and pitting. Wrecked a good Nicholson file in the process. Now I always hit the face with a wire brush and some oil first. Anyone else kill tools prepping rusty anvils?

Three files in one afternoon before I figured it out...
