I've pretty much always gone handless as well, but I do often think about the possible impalement. If I do use a handle, it has to be round, I don't like the flat ones.
I will use a vise if handy, but on the job I just sit on a log and lean over the saw. I usually file with just one hand, using the other to steady the bar if needed. I run square and round filed chain.
