Glardon-Vallorbe Slitting Needle Files (LA2414) are parallel in width and thickness, tapering from a centerline down the middle of the file to both edges that meet at a point. Both sides are cut. Measurements given are at the thickest point of the file. Manufactured to precise production standards using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship, these Swiss Made needle files deliver superior performance on all metals with the accuracy, feel, and balanced action demanded by professional jewelers and metalsmiths.
Glardon-Vallorbe needle files are made of the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel and are graded on a numeric scale from 00 (coarsest) to 6 (finest). File length is measured from the point where the teeth begin to the end of the file.
