Glardon-Vallorbe Pillar Regular 2 Sides Cut-Precision Files - LP1132

A pillar file trues a flat surface at the bench: it is parallel in width and tapered in thickness, which makes perfectly flat filing possible. The Pillar Regular 2 Sides Cut is double cut on both the top and bottom faces, while both edges remain safe (no cut), so you can work right up to a shoulder without marring the adjacent surface. Each file is supplied as a tang only, with no handle, and measurements are given at the thickest point of the file.

Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Precision Files are manufactured to exacting production standards, combining machine cutting with hand craftsmanship to produce the most accurate, best-cutting, and longest-lasting files in the world. Made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, they deliver the right feel, action, and balance demanded by true craftsmen and superior performance on all metals. Simply the best you can buy.

Formerly distributed by Grobet USA under the Grobet Swiss name, Glardon-Vallorbe has been the real maker behind those Swiss files all along. Since 2015, all Grobet-branded files are manufactured in Italy, so if your file is marked Swiss Made, it was made by Glardon-Vallorbe of Switzerland. Grobet cross-reference numbers are given in the Available Options table for an easy transition.
