I would get the end of the tool blank up to a temperature where a magnet will no longer stick to it then in one smooth motion, with a gloved hand, hold the tool over the desired patterned file. One smart blow with a ball peen hammer should form a very nice pattern in inverse on the tool. The doublecut swiss file , coarse, would be a great reproduction of a checkered backgrounder, see file examples for further ideas! Even a little can of the smallest ball bearings one could find would produce a nice pattern, let your imagination go.My main effort is to convey the idea of heating the end of a tool blank and then impressing the imprint of whatever is desired into the hot & malleable steel. Enjoy!
