Stumbled on this video. More orientated to metal smiths, but good overview of types & terminology. Otto Frei is a US company but you can same/comparable files at other jewelry suppliers for example Rio Grande also in USA. Slimmer pickens in Canada AFAIK - Gesswein & also Kens Gems in Calgary (prices vary). Wallet warning, Swiss files are spendy.

I found the attached KMS file id chart a while ago. It is a good one page overview of the types of available hand files.
