Grobet - Length & Cut: 100-2

Grobet USA Barrette Needle Files are tapered in both width and thickness, coming to a rounded point at the tip. Only the flat face of a barrette file is cut, leaving a safe (uncut) edge and top — making this profile ideal for filing inside angles and recesses without marring adjacent surfaces. These are an essential bench file for jewelers and metalsmiths who need precise, controlled material removal.

Since 2015, Grobet needle files are manufactured in Italy rather than Switzerland. Jewelers seeking the original Swiss-made construction should refer to genuine Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Barrette Needle Files (LA2411 / LAV2411) and Barrette Escapement Files (LE3010 & LE3011), available in a wide variety of cuts and sizes. Glardon-Vallorbe of Switzerland is the original manufacturer of Swiss needle files — if your file reads "Swiss Made," it was made by Glardon-Vallorbe.

Features

  • Barrette profile: tapered in width and thickness to a rounded tip
  • Cut on flat face only — safe (uncut) edge and top prevent accidental marring
  • Available in four lengths: 100mm (4"), 140mm (5-1/2"), 160mm (6-1/4"), and 200mm (7-3/4")
  • Available in cuts ranging from 00 Extra Coarse through 6 Extra Fine
  • Needle file lengths measured tip to tip, including the tang (handle section)
  • Not all cuts are available in all lengths — see Available Options for specific combinations
